Spinoza: A Complete Guide to Life

I don't normally comment, but this video is so good that I want to increase its engagement. Great work!

Amazing how Spinoza spent his entire life on this concept and we have it at the free range of our fingertips; further more, the person creating this video and breaking it down to a more understandable concept, is truly luxurious. Thank you so much for your video!

When I found out about Spinoza, I felt a huge relief. It's nice to know that I'm not the only one who idolizes such a mindset. What a beautiful way to see the world. Absolutely incredible job on this video.

I've watched your video to the it's full extent, this is what the internet should be all about, creating and sharing knowledge for the good of everyone. Most valuable one hour I have spent during the whole week. Thank you so much ! ! !

I’m a practicing Buddhist from Asia and when I was studying Western philosophy in Uni, the only person that really spoke to me was Baruch Spinoza.

This is one of the most complete videos I've ever seen on Spinoza, damn incredible dude.

This is a phenomenal introduction to Spinoza for anyone interested in his ideas. And it was knitted together beautifully with sound and vision. Thank you for this. I've watched it twice, now.

I’ve watched dozens of videos on Spinoza, read dozens of books… including the Ethics. This video is the only time I’ve ever really (really) understood what Spinoza was trying to articulate in his writings. Thank you.

I’m so happy that my tripping experiences are now documented in such a clear manner ie this video

This genuinely turned out so well. This really is one of your best. I definitely didn't expect this to be so in-depth and so representative of the subtextual context with Spinoza! Reading the Ethics alone, in my mind, still doesn't get his objectives across, and you nailed those objectives here. Truly, again, did not expect this video to turn out so well. Even happier that I was able to be apart of this. Thanks for allowing me to be apart of this! (Sorry in advance to everyone, Lewis's voice is much better than mine. My voice kind of sucks. But, you need the bad to recognize the good, yeah?)

I don't believe in the idea of a "life changing video" but this has to be an exception. And the way you have explained and taught Spinoza's ideas is awe-inspiring.

Hello, I am a chilean teacher of English who lives in Brazil and fell in love with this channel. It's so good to find a treasure like this, that I consider it my Christmas present.

What I love about this vid is that I vividly remember when at 15-16 wandering a pine woods in Wisconsin, pausing to read Epictetus beneath trees, observing everything, that much the same conclusions as those of Spinoza came to me---modes of things intrinsically interconnected. But all was forgotten soon enough! How odd to rediscover it here. In Mod.Philo. at college we only touched on Spinoza briefly as a response to Descartes (---sad.)!& At 15, "infinite causality" for me was a revery, and daydream. Now such for me is free will....

A very well presented overview of historically difficult material. Well done and thank you.

There is not so much good content on YouTube about Spinoza for beginners, and this video fills that void. Thank you for the good work

I'm only 15 minutes into this and am blown away at how well you put this together. It is a pleasure to watch!

During undergrad, I remember reading Spinoza's work and it was the only work that made me almost cry.

This is so good! I' ve been in my life bubble for days, and this video made me realizes how I had reacted to many affects in my life, and this made me changed my perspective towards it. I'm getting interested in the work of Spinoza, thanks for making this video!

In my 7+ years on YouTube I don't think I've ever before immediately replayed a video longer than 10 minutes to which I was fully paying attention. The ideas expressed here are so profound and line up so beautifully with so many of the mini-philosophies I've formed over the course of my years as a fully self-aware human being. I'm sure I would've eventually learned about Spinoza one way or another but this is the most compelling introduction I could've possibly asked for. Thank you for putting this out into the world.

Thanks for making this video. Spinosa was always on my list of philosopher but very hard to read and understand without a teacher or explanations. I finally had a great introduction to his way of thinking, which are truly beautiful and inspiring. I find my self agreed with him in most of his reasoning.
