A Study Of Spinoza'practical Philosophy

Aristotle generalized all knowledge into three categories: theoretical,practical and creative,after which practical philosophy as an independent subject was established.The establishment of practical philosophy led to significant discussions about human including: the relations between theoretical and practical philosophy;the problem of human rational power;and internal relations of practical philosophy(especially the relations of ethical and political).Though Aristotle respected practical wisdom,but distinguish between theoretical and practical philosophy led to the absence of divinity.The renaissance of practical philosophy aims to restore the divinity.Started from these questions,we confirmed a general interpretation frame of practical philosophy.Here we will re-interpret Spinoza's philosophical system,and my study including three aspects: the relation of first philosophy and ethics;rational enlighten;and the relations of ethics and politics.In accordance with the interpretation frame,we believe that Spinoza answered all the three kind of questions.His answers were in favor of restoring the divinity of practical philosophy.Firstly,Spinoza bridged theoretical and practical philosophy,considered First Philosophy as ethics,the concept of God was introduced into practical philosophy.Secondly,and Spinoza respected intuition toward specific things.Such an intuition has no similarities with superstitious and imagination,or the reasoning in the general meaning.But in the realm of addressing practical problems,we can find similarities with the concept of practical wisdom,proposed and respected by Aristotle.And finally,Spinoza inclined to consider politics as a supplement to ethics,and ethics as political anthropology.Spinoza's answers have significant theoretical meaning in the phase of practical philosophy's renaissance and development.
