Summary
Spinoza’s ontology insists that human beings are fully “part” of nature, and as such both affect, and are affected by, other parts of nature. Some of these affects we experience as “passions,” which “follow from the same necessity and force of nature as the other singular things” (E3pref, ii/138). Spinoza defines affect as “affections of the body by which the body’s power of acting is increased or diminished, aided or restrained, and at the same time, the ideas of these affections” (E3def3).
