Abstract

Intellectualism in Vacuo
Vivas, Eliseo | February 20, 1929 issue

add to cart   close window

The article presents information on two books related to intellectualism. "The Philosophy of Spinoza," by Richard McKeon and "The Correspondence of Spinoza," edited by A. Wolf. McKeon's book is a typical product of the schools. It is solid, profound, scholarly. It contains an exhausfive bibliography, a subject index, and an index of proper names; there are no pages without footnotes, and one of the pages, at least, contains thirteen of them. These are not merely superficial appendages but manifestations of an attitude or a type of mind which detaches men's thinking from the dramatic matrix in which it is always found imbedded, to consider it in vacuo.
