Human life is not always a matter of reason, but in a state of confusion owing to passions. Western intellectual traditions, originating from ancient Greece, have outweighed reason rather than affect. In this intellectual tradition, reason has maintained an ideological tradition that plays a role in restraining and controlling affect. However, Spinoza understood affect as a natural phenomenon that occurs in the body and mind, unlike the logic of rational traditions. Thus, his ethics are centered on the question of passions. Spinoza has an exceptional existence in Western philosophy, in that the theme to escape from passions is illuminated in human life; not of reason, but of the human being combining body with mind. The problem of human life―vacillation of the mind― arising from the combination of body and mind is a universal theme beyond the present age, unless this condition changes. Buddhism has something in common with Spinoza philosophy in this sense of the issue. Dealing with the problem of human passions, a combination of body and mind, is a fitting theme which conforms to contemporary trends that positively pursue sensual pleasures. It is the right time to tell mankind that true happiness is beyond human beings in the present age of human life, in which the outer conditions of human life can lead to human beings' endless desires to realize human beings' infinite desires. Because human life does not exist outside of its own body and mind. This paper tries to establish the similarities between Spinoza and Buddhism, which leads to philosophical discourse on human conditions as a combination of body and mind.
