this problem - the problem of mind for Spinoza -
that mind becomes an infinite regress of ideas
you would think should be resolved in substance
the fact is though substance - is only known as -
mind or extension
so - the infinite regress of ideas - just is substance
(as mind)
substance is no foundation for Spinoza
it may appear to be - he may believe it is
he does want it to function as such
but this is not the case
substance - for all we know - is its attributes
its expression
strictly speaking - expression
- no - 'its'
there is no substance to substance
substance in this sense - if you wish to keep the concept -
is the unknown
this is the best you can do
otherwise the picture we have -
is expression - nothing more nothing less
just - revelation
and revelation of
itself
revelation of revelation
no substance to it
strangely modern
