- Double-weighted statement
- This book is submitted for consideration as a double-weighted output. It was produced as the result of sustained research effort over five years. The author’s new interpretation of Spinoza’s theory of natural right and the argument of that theory’s inherent concept of absolute freedom challenges previous conventional jurisprudential interpretation that Spinoza’s theory is an extension of Hobbes’, arguing that Spinoza’s theory creates new dimensions contradictory to Hobbes. The significant depth of analysis and interpretation of the complex and abstract subjects of physics, consciousness and ethics from numerous perspectives reframes Spinoza’s philosophy as well as contemporary legal and political theory.
