Going against recent trends in Spinoza scholarship, and drawing on various sources, including Spinozas engagements with optical theory and physics, Matthew Homan argues for a realist interpretation of geometrical figures in Spinoza; illustrates their role in a Spinozan hypothetico-deductive scientific method; and develops Spinozas mathematical examples to better illuminate the three kinds of knowledge. The result is a portrait of Spinozas epistemology as sanguine and distinctive yet at home in the new Cartesian and Galilean scientific-philosophical paradigm.
