Zes korte video's met Rebecca Newberger Goldstein
Op 9 juni 2010 nam Big Think een interview op met Rebecca Newberger Goldstein. Vandaag werd dit in z'n geheel en in 6 deeltjes op internet gepubliceerd. ["At Big Think, we put you in contact with the ideas of very smart people. We do not believe that experts have all the answers. On many subjects deep thinkers disagree. We do believe that we will all make better decisions in our personal and professional lives if our thinking is informed by expert opinion."]
Ik haal het 5e dat over Spinoza ging naar voren.

Met Rebecca had ik tot nu toe enkel e-mail contact, niet naar aanleiding van haar boek BETRAYING SPINOZA, maar vanwege haar sterke appreciatie van Locke's Spinozisme in de NEW YORK TIMES, geciteerd in mijn JOHN LOCKE, VERMOMDE EN MISKENDE SPINOZIST. In deze filmpjes geeft zij interessante toelichtingen op Spinoza, doch op een wat onzekere en rusteloze manier, die in strijd lijkt met Spinoza's sereniteit. Eerlijk gezegd, had ik mij haar anders voorgesteld!
