Spinoza provides schizoanalysis an alternative not just to Hegelian philosophy of history — but to subject-object dualism in general. Spinoza was a contemporary and critic of Descartes and his view of the objective identity of thought and [by] extension contrasts sharply with Descartes view which treats thought as a property of a doubting subject rather than of concrete objects. This critique and monist alternative to Cartesian subject-object dualism represents an important contribution to modern environmentalism since Spinoza considers man a part of nature rather than its master.

It should be understood that Christianity views man to be the master of nature. And that God himself is outside of nature. God is “Nature’s God”.
