Nature, Knowledge and Knowledge of Nature in Plato and Spinoza
What it is to know reality is a problem that has preoccupied philosophers since Ancient times. In Spinoza, reality is ultimately one, the one reality of the substantia infinita, perceived by us human beings under the attributes of cogitatio and extensio. It is on the basis of the ultimate unity of reality that Spinoza can assert that "the order and connection of things is the same as the order and connection of ideas". For this equation to be viable, an original proportion must exist between the way in which the "things" of our sensible experience appear and the "ideas" of our minds conceive of and understand them. This is the underlying truth expressed also by Plato's Analogy of the Line. Taking as its point of departure a comparison of the imagery of Plato's Analogy of the Line with Spinoza's understanding of levels of knowledge and their application in the "geometric method" of the Ethics, his paper will consider how human knowledge is able to represent and convey reality
