| Summary: | This paper focuses on some of the more controversial points in Jenny Bunker’s
reply to Adrian W. Moore concerning his account of Spinoza. In particular, it raises the
question of whether Moore has conceived of certain aspects of the relations between modes
in a substantial manner and points to some of the consequences that would follow. Finally, it
argues, contra Moore, that the perspective sub specie aeternitatis does not imply draining reality
of all value and meaning but conceiving of values as relative. In contrast, the perspective in
mediis rebus implies conceiving of values as substantial attributes of things, being the cause
that ultimately leads to nihilism, understood as contempt for the world. |
