Summary

The concept of “animation” figures in the scholium to E2p13, where Spinoza discusses his demonstration of the mind–body union. He writes that “the things we have shown so far are completely general and do not pertain more to man than to other individuals, all of which, though in different degrees, are nevertheless animate [omnia, quamvis diversis gradibus, animata tamen sunt]” (E2p13s, ii/96).
