His research interests include Western early modern philosophy and science, embodied cognition and intuition, soteriological conceptions of selfhood in a cross-cultural perspective, and ancient Buddhist thought and practice.<break/> 06 Own website https://www.dhammavicaya.com/ 01 eng 20 Spinoza; Philosophy; Yoga; Comparative Philosophy 01 06 03 00 Humanity today holds unprecedented power over nature, but this achievement has led to crises—from extreme inequality to climate disaster—that seem beyond our control. Baruch Spinoza’s philosophy offers a profound perspective on this paradox and points to a possible solution. Spinoza suggests that real empowerment comes from enhancing the kind of knowledge we possess, revealing a limitless source of vitality in understanding ourselves as part of a greater whole. But to fully grasp and apply Spinoza's ideas, we must see him not just as a philosopher, but as a practitioner of a discipline akin to the “yoga” of India. Unlike most Indian yogic traditions, however, Spinoza’s approach emphasizes not renouncing desire but intensifying it. This fresh view makes Spinoza’s philosophy a practical guide for transforming how we live in the world, while also offering new insights into the relevance and application of Indian yogic traditions.Published by University of Groningen PressBroerstraat 4 9712 CP GroningenTypesetting: LINE UP boek en media bv | Mirjam KroondijkProduction support: LINE UP boek & media bvCover artwork: Matteo CiardiniThis is the author’s English translation of Andrea Sangiacomo, Lo yoga di Spinoza.

Het moedigt de lezer aan tot een dieper begrip van zichzelf, de wereld en de kracht van verlangen.
