This is great, thank you for this. I'll make sure to read what you recommended. Also, thank you /u/wolfe1jl for you help as well.

I'm having trouble reconciling Spinozist metaphysics (Natura Naturans and so on) with how Deleuze adopts and treats it in a seemingly prescriptive (albeit unspecific) way. How do we act freely if everything is determined by Nature?

Does anyone have any recommended reading on this topic? Or just any enlightening comments? Thank you.
