 Susman goes on to distinguish two kinds of dispositions vis-à-vis the world, the Jewish and the Indian, including its Greek Dionysian and German mystical variations, in order to situate Spinoza more pointedly in the Jewish tradition. While Jewish thought, she argues, subordinates everything to the idea, Indo-Germanic thought subordinates everything to the I. Both world views have the question of redemption as their point of departure and both emerge from a religious foundation. The one crystalizes early on into a sharp dualism, the other into the first great philosophy of identity. While the Indian disposition elevates the self and its quest for freedom to the center of its striving, the Jewish, with God at its center, privileges law, obligation, and faith as its fundamental values. For Susman, however, law is mediated by love bound to a you.
