Demassio appreciates Spinozas point of view on the above mentioned topic because he saw this as evidence of Spinoza as being a forward thinker who was ahead of his time. His ideas on aspect dualism, which consider the body and mind to be two aspects of the same thing, was in contrast to the popular veiwpoint of Rene Descartes who saw the body and mind as two seperate entities. I also believe Demassio aggreed with Spinozas view on aspect dualism because it fits well with the concept of connatus, and demassios views on nesting.
