The İnterpretation Of Scripture — Benedict De Spinoza

The power of nature is the power of God which has sovereign right over all things and inasmuch as the power of nature is simply the aggregate of the powers of all her individual components it follows that every individual has sovereign right to do all that he can in other words the rights of an individual extend to the utmost limits of his power as it has been conditioned Now it is the sovereign law and right of nature that each individual should endeavour to preserve itself as it is without regard to anything but itself therefore this sovereign law and right belongs to every individual namely to exist and act according to its natural conditions

The Foundations of a State

As men are accustomed to call Divine the knowledge which transcends human understanding so also do they style Divine or the work of God anything of which the cause is not generally known for the masses think that the power and providence of God are most clearly displayed by events that are extraordinary and contrary to the conception they have formed of nature especially if such events bring them any profit or convenience they think that the clearest possible proof of God s existence is afforded when nature as they suppose breaks her accustomed order and consequently they believe that those who explain or endeavour to understand phenomena or miracles through their natural causes are doing away with God and His providence

Doğanın gücü her şeye egemen olan Tanrı nın gücüdür ve doğanın gücü tüm bireysel bileşenlerinin güçlerinin basit bir toplamı olduğu için bundan her bireyin elinden gelen her şeyi yapma konusunda egemen hakkı olduğu sonucu çıkar başka bir deyişle bir bireyin hakları koşullandırılmış olarak gücünün en üst sınırlarına kadar uzanır Artık her bireyin kendisinden başka hiçbir şeye aldırmadan kendini olduğu gibi korumaya çalışması doğanın egemen yasası ve hakkıdır dolayısıyla bu egemen yasa ve hak her bireye aittir yani kendi doğal koşullarına göre var olmak ve hareket etmek

İnsanlar insan anlayışını aşan bilgiyi İlahi olarak adlandırmaya alışkın oldukları gibi nedeni genellikle bilinmeyen herhangi bir şeyi İlahi veya Tanrı nın işi olarak adlandırırlar çünkü kitleler Tanrı nın gücünün ve takdirinin en önemli olduğunu düşünürler özellikle bu tür olaylar kendilerine herhangi bir fayda veya kolaylık sağlıyorsa olağanüstü ve doğa hakkında oluşturdukları anlayışa aykırı olaylar tarafından açıkça gösterilirler Tanrı nın varlığının mümkün olan en açık kanıtının düşündükleri gibi doğa onu kırdığında elde edildiğini düşünürler alışılagelmiş bir düzene tabidirler ve dolayısıyla fenomenleri veya mucizeleri tabiî sebeplerle açıklayan veya anlamaya çalışanların Allah ı ve O nun takdirini ortadan kaldırdıklarına inanırlar
