Theory of Conatus
In Andre Santos Campos (ed.), Spinoza: Basic Concepts. Imprint Academic. pp. 95–105 (2015)
Abstract
In this essay, I will begin by delineating the context of the conatus principle, after which I will provide a reading of the two propositions (EIIIP6 and P7) that contain the very core of the theory. This in turn will enable me to explain how Spinoza’s theory of conatus is connected to his views on desire, activity, and teleology.Author's Profile
