Purchasers can download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. 1851. Not illustrated. Excerpt: ... CHAPTER VI. Spinoza's Doctrine. The system of Spinoza, which has excited so much odium, is but the logical development of the system of Descartes which has excited so much admiration. Curious! The demonstration of the existenceof God wasone of Descartes' proudest laurels; the demonstration of the existence of God--and of no other existence but that of God, being possible --was Spinoza's title to almost universal execration. Dugald Stewart, generally one of the most candid of men, evidently shared the common prejudice with respect to Spinoza. He refuses, therefore, to admit that Spinoza, whom he dislikes, held opinions at all similar to those of Descartes, whom he admires. " It was in little else," says he, " than his physical principles that he agreed with Descartes; for no two philosophers ever differed more widely in their metaphysical and theological tenets. Fontenelle characterizes his system as Cartesianism pushed to extravagance." This is far from correct. Spinoza differed with Descartes on a few points, and agreed with him on most; the differences were only those of a more rigorous logical development of the principles both maintained. It was at an important era in Spinoza's life that the writings of Descartes fell in his way. He was then striving to solve for himself the inexplicable riddle of the universe. He had penetrated deep into the science of the Cabbala; he had studied with the learned Morteira; but though wise in all the wisdom of the Jews, he was still at an immeasurable distance from the desired solution. Descartes captivated him by the boldness of his logic, by the independent nature of his Method, whereby truth was sought in the inner world of man, and not in the outward world, nor in the records of authority.
