Adequacy and Innateness in Spinoza

Year: 2008
Type: book-chapter
Abstract: Adequate ideas are a perennial topic of debate among Spinoza scholars. Questions abound. What are they? Can the human mind contain an adequate idea? If so, from where does the human mind acquire these ideas? Opinions differ on each of these questions. Some scholars argue that adequate ideas, being infinite, seem to be unavailable to the human mind. Others believe them to be cognizable through reflection and intuition.
