"Nothing exists from whose nature some effect does not follow"

- Baruch Spinoza

About this Quote

In this quote, Baruch Spinoza is expressing his belief that everything around has a cause and effect relationship. He argues that there is a natural order to deep space, where every action or event is an outcome of a previous cause. This means that nothing can exist without having some sort of impact or repercussion. Spinoza's viewpoint is rooted in the idea of determinism, where all occasions are predetermined and follow a set of natural laws. For that reason, according to Spinoza, there is no such thing as a random or indescribable incident, as whatever is linked and has a sensible explanation.
