Spinoza and Leibniz, by Anthony Quinton

Vous trouverez ici un entretien télévisuel, en cinq parties, entre Anthony Quinton et Bryan Magee, à propos de Spinoza et Leibniz.

I invite you to watch an discussion about Spinoza and Leibniz, between Anthony Quinton and Bryan Magee.

The ideas of rationalist philosophers Baruch Spinoza and Gottfried Leibniz are examined in this program by world-renowned author and professor Bryan Magee and philosopher Anthony Quinton. Spinoza favors a pantheistic God who has matter and mind as two attributes, and who is the ultimate substance and explanation of the world. Leibniz sees the real world as consisting of an infinity of things purely spiritual, where everything, including space, is a phenomenon—a by-product of a real world with an infinite array of spiritual centers. Both philosophers construct a world that is very different from what the average person perceives, and both reject Cartesian duality.
