The Infinite and the Indeterminate in Spinoza
Dialogue 50 (3):603-621 (2011)
Abstract
ABSTRACT: I argue that when Spinoza describes substance and its attributes as he means that they are utterly indeterminate. That is, his conception of infinitude is not a mathematical one. For Spinoza, anything truly infinite eludes counting s conception is closer to a grammatical one. I conclude by considering a number of arguments against this account of the Spinozan infinite as indeterminateAuthor's Profile
