Spinoza's Ideas on One's Freedom of Thinking

Zhong-Jing Huang

Abstract

Spinoza defined one's freedom in thinking at two levels: 1) Once one has ration, he has freedom; 2) One is born with the right to think freely which is not transferable. Since there exist some misunderstandings in academic circle, Spinoza's ideas on the relation between freedom and necessity should be further analyzed, and some of his ambiguous arguments about freedom of speech should be further elaborated and clarified.
