This book interrogates the ontology of mathematical entities in
Spinoza as a basis for addressing a wide range of interpretive
issues in Spinoza's epistemology-from his antiskepticism and
philosophy of science to the nature and scope of reason and
intuitive knowledge and the intellectual love of God. Going against
recent trends in Spinoza scholarship, and drawing on various
sources, including Spinoza's engagements with optical theory and
physics, Matthew Homan argues for a realist interpretation of
geometrical figures in Spinoza; illustrates their role in a
Spinozan hypothetico-deductive scientific method; and develops
Spinoza's mathematical examples to better illuminate the three
kinds of knowledge. The result is a portrait of Spinoza's
epistemology as sanguine and distinctive yet at home in the new
Cartesian and Galilean scientific-philosophical paradigm.
