Spinozaesque
of, relating to, or suggestive of Spinoza or his writings -- especially his materialist pantheism and rationalistic God-intoxication.
"Einstein's Spinozaesque worldview would not allow him to accept a random or finite universe -- he thought of the universe itself as being divine, orderly, and eternal. Einstein originally modified his own theory with the Cosmological Constant to accommodate an eternal universe, and his famous animosity to contemporary interpretations of quantum theory was rooted in his belief that God does not play dice."
"The way Sagan uses the word 'Cosmos' it's hard not to hear an Spinozaesque echo of 'deus sive natura'."
