Drawn from what Baruch Spinoza said
What Baruch Spinoza actually said
- Baruch Spinoza Dutch philosopher (1632 to 1677)
Men of great imaginative power are less fitted for abstract reasoning, whereas those who excel in intellect and its use keep their imagination more restrained and controlled, holding it in subjection, so to speak, lest it should usurp the place of reason.
