Thanks.

Non sequiturs. Wait till the dialogue plays out some more for more context.

Spinoza isn't "an idealist" according to my reading. Yes. I can't help you with that. :sweat:

'Neither true nor false', to my mind, also makes a purported truth-claim demonstrably untrue.

Indeed – the only ultimate answer to "Why?" which doesn't beg the question is that there is no ultimate answer. Philosophers are often 'bewitched by l...
