Abstract
Both Lady Anne conway and Baruch spinoza argue that the individual things in the world, everything from the mosquito to the chair to the supermodel, contain the substance of God. And by sharing in the substance of God, the chair, the supermodel, and the mosquito are all alike. At the same time, however, the mosquito is neither the chair nor the supermodel but a thing distinct from both of them. But is the mosquito inferior to the supermodel because she is (supposedly) a human with the capacity to reason or is the mosquito just different? conway and spinoza both have a different response to this question. I plan to discuss the similarity and the disparity between the philosophies of conway and spinoza concerning individual things in the world and the relation of these individual things to one another and to God. I then will discuss why spinoza's view of individual things is more convincing in today's society.
