Geocentrism and Parallelism

The repudiation of Geocentrism destroys two hierarchical relations--that of ruler to ruled in Theocratic Monarchism, i. e. insofar as the relation represents the Heaven-Earth difference of kind, and that of Mind and Body, which is based on the Spirit-Matter distinction that separates Heaven from Earth.  Spinoza's response to the former has already been discussed--the replacement of a transcendent deity with an immanent one, corresponding to which is the replacement of Theocratic Monarchism with Technocratic Democracy.  Of course, the promotion of Democracy in the era is hardly unique.  However, his second response has had few peers--the attribution of Corporeality to his deity, resulting in Mind-Body Parallelism.  Indeed, the depreciation of Corporeality remains a common theme among Modern Secularists, e. g. the Empiricist disembodiment of Sense-Experience, Mill's 'higher vs. lower' distinction, etc.  So, Spinoza's doctrine expresses the most comprehensive appreciation in the era of the repudiation of Geocentrism.
