This book concerns the nature of time and ordinary cases of
persistence in Spinoza. The author argues for three major
interpretive claims. First, that Spinoza is committed to an
eternalist theory of time whereby all things (whether they seem to
be past, present, or future) are equally real. Second, that a
mode's conatus or essence is a self-maintaining activity (not an
inertial force or disposition.) Third, that modes persist through
time in Spinoza's metaphysics by having temporal parts (that is,
different parts at different times.) If the author is correct, then
a significant reinterpretation of Spinoza's modal metaphysics is
required. The book also puts Spinoza into dialogue with some recent
work in analytic metaphysics.
