God, Nature, and the Lens: How Spinoza Really Saw the World
Hosted By: Orange County Jewish Community Scholar Program ("CSP")
The Community Scholar Program reexamines Baruch Spinoza beyond the familiar phrase “God is Nature,” showing why that shorthand misses the depth of his philosophy. Framed through his work as an optician, the session explores how Spinoza understood reality as a single infinite substance perceived differently through the lenses we use. The discussion invites participants to rethink perception, freedom, and knowledge, presenting Spinoza as a strikingly modern thinker rather than a distant heretic.
