“…(Ep.32/IV:170a) Now to make it clear why this is in tension with a reductionist reading, consider the example of a simple billiard ball rolling. According to the reductionist reading, it is strictly true for Spinoza that the billiard ball is composed of particles that are performing similar causal activities, namely that they are rotating in such a 35 Arguably the standard reading of Spinoza's account of composition is reductionist in this sense (see, e.g., Garrett 1994;Lin 2005;and Grey 2014). An anonymous reviewer wonders whether reductionism faces the challenge that a composite mode has no property to be reduced that the reductive base doesn't already have.…”
