Hi Steve,
This is a fascinating excursion into the mind and heart and rigorous thinking of Spinoza and of what happened in your own thinking as a result of the collaboration with him. But I found myself wondering at the end of the excursion where it landed you in terms of teaching. Did it galvanize you or make you feel yourself to be on solid ground when you did teach? Please write some more about this if you can find the time and have the interest to do so.

I won’t say why, but with this article on Spinoza in mind, you might enjoy the book, “The Weight of Ink” by Rachel Kaddish.
