According to Nurettin Topçu Spinoza’s Freedom Understanding
Abstract :
Nurettin Topçu is among contemporary Turkish thinkers. In his opinion, “freedom” has important place. He has criticized the concept of freedom of some philosophers. Spinoza is one of them. According to Spinoza, everything consists of God and His attributes and modes. God is immanent cause of everything and for this reason, the whole things have necessity. Thus, he adopts a strict determinism. Topçu is against it. According to him, we realize that we are free in movement and our own consciousness. Otherwise, all people in similar circumstances should have given the same responses.
