Well, it's a place to discuss both theoretical and practical aspects of Spinoza's philosophy. Memes are accepted.

You don't need a degree in philosophy - or any kind of degree for that matter - to come, ask questions and discuss. Gatekeeping will not be tolerated.

For me it was through Deleuze's course on Spinoza. Stumbled upon it. Thought "well, idk anything about this, I might as well listen to it in the background while playing Warframe".

I ended up.. not playing a lot of Warframe..

I first heard of Spinoza through his standing up to the authorities. Cut off from his Jewish community, etc. Then I read his sCaNdAlOuS theories, and found them to be not terribly scandalous.
