Who conceives? Who feels?

[Spinoza Today– The Principle of Affection BOOK III, PROP. XIX.

He who conceives that the object of his love is destroyed will feel pain;

if he conceives that it is preserved he will feel pleasure.

So, “He” has two components independent of each other:

1. his love/ feel pain / feel pleasure,
2. who conceives destroyed/ preserved.

Can we extend the supposition to say that there may be more than two components? Multiple, or may be innumerable. Then, what kind of taxonomy should be proposed to understand them? Tusar N. Mohapatra said this on May 3rd, 2007 at 12:01 pm
