" "

Civitas, cuius subditi metu territi arma non capiunt, potius dicenda est, quod sine bello sit, quam quod pacem habeat. Pax enim non belli privatio, sed virtus est, quae ex animi fortitudine oritur; est namque obsequium constans voluntas id exsequendi, quod ex communi civitatis decreto fieri debet. Illa praeterea civitas, cuius pax a subditorum inertia pendet, qui scilicet veluti pecora ducuntur, ut tantum servire discant, rectius solitudo, quam civitas dici potest.

About Benedictus de Spinoza

Benedictus de Spinoza (24 November 1632 – 21 February 1677) was a social and metaphysical philosopher known for the elaborate development of his monist philosophy, which has become known as Spinozism. Controversy regarding his ideas led to his excommunication from the Jewish community of his native Amsterdam. He was named Baruch ("blessed" in Hebrew) Spinoza by his synagogue elders and known as Bento de Spinoza or Bento d'Espiñoza, but afterwards used the name Benedictus ("blessed" in Latin) de Spinoza.

Additional quotes by Benedictus de Spinoza

If all that divides Marx from the Classical Economists amounts to the historical character of economic categories, Marx need only historicize these categories, refusing to take them as fixed, absolute or eternal, but, on the contrary, regarding them as relative, provisional and transitory, i.e., as categories subject in the last instance to the moment of their historical existence. In this case, Marx's relation to Smith and Ricardo can be represented as identical with Hegel's relation to classical philosophy. Marx would then be Ricardo set in motion, just as it is possible to describe Hegel as Spinoza set in motion; set in motion, i.e., historicized.

«يُشير سِفر أخبار الأيام الأول (الإصحاح ٢١) إلى حدوث الوحي عن طريق الصُّوَر الحِسِّية وحدَها حيث يكشِف الله عن غضبه على داود فيُريه ملاكًا قابضًا سيفًا بيده،١٤ وقد حدث ذلك أيضًا لبلعام،١٥ صحيح أن ابن ميمون١٦ وآخرين يَرَون أنَّ هذه القصة ليست إلَّا مُجرَّد حلم (وكذلك كل القصص التي تروي ظهور ملك، مثل قِصَّة مانويه١٧ وقصة إبراهيم عندما رأى في منامه أنه يذبح ابنه١٨ … إلخ). وينكرون أن يكون أي إنسان قد استطاع رؤية ملك بعينَين مفتوحَتَين، ولكن هذا الرأي مُجرَّد ثرثرة، لقد كان هَمُّهم تأويل الكتاب ليستخلصوا منه تُرَّهات أرسطو وتخيُّلاتهم الخاصة، وهي في رأيي أكثر المُحاولات مَدعاةً للسخرية. وفي مُقابل ذلك، فإنَّ الله أوحى ليوسُف نصرَه المُؤزَّر مُستقبلًا، لا عن طريق صور حقيقية، بل بِصُورٍ من مُخيَّلة النبي نفسه»
