Spinoza’s Ethics 2.0

1D3

Definitio

Per substantiam intelligo id quod in se est et per se concipitur hoc est id cujus conceptus non indiget conceptu alterius rei a quo formari debeat.

Bepaling

By zelfstandighèit versta ik 't geen, dat in zich is, en door zich bevat word: dat is, welks bevatting niet de bevatting van een anderding, van 't welk het gevormt moet worden, behoeft.

Definition

By substance, I mean that which is in itself, and is conceived through itself; in other words, that of which a conception can be formed independently of any other conception.
