In his article “Spinoza between the clouds. Philosophy of identity in Spinoza’s Ethics,” Stéphane Ferret offers a so-called integrative interpretation of the philosopher’s thought that can be summed up as follows: Spinoza’s philosophy is a philosophy of identity. To give substance to and articulate this assertion, three statements of identity are proposed: God = World, Thought = Extension, Spirit = Body. With the exception of the first, they are often ignored and, even when glimpsed through the clouds of contradictory interpretations, remain misunderstood. Three and a half centuries after the publication of Spinoza’s Ethics, in this article, the author attempts to uncover the logical underpinnings of the text.
