The Journal of the History of Philosophy has awarded its 2022 finest article prize to Karolina Hübner (Cornell).
Professor Hübner received the prize, which acknowledges the most effective article printed within the journal in 2022, for her, “Representation and Mind-Body Identity in Spinoza’s Philosophy“. Right here’s the summary of the article:
The paper provides a brand new studying of Spinoza’s declare that minds and our bodies are “one and the identical factor,” generally understood as a declare concerning the identification of a referent below two completely different descriptions. This paper proposes as an alternative that Spinoza’s texts and his bigger epistemological commitments present that he takes mind-body identification to be (1) an identification grounded in an intentional relation, and (2) an identification of 1 factor current in two other ways.
The prize comes with an award of $1500.
