SPINOZA, BARUCH

Spinoza: God or Nature — one substance, infinitely expressive, of which mind and body are attributes. CoCA: the Concept or the Liturgy — one substance, of which the institution and the artwork are attributes. The Spinozist move is to refuse separation. The Concept is not behind the Liturgy. The Liturgy is the Concept under the attribute of practice. The conatus of the Church is to persist as the Concept persisting.
