I really enjoyed Susan James' explanation of Spinoza's view of passion, it's a adequately simplified summary of it, but I disagree with her understanding of Spinoza's God. It's not exactly that I disagree with her directly but how she explained or expressed it. Yes God is everything but this is a very simplistic and generalized statement of Spinioza's God. Anyways I still enjoyed this.
