This was what Spinoza called seeing everything 'sub specie aeternitatis.

这就是斯宾诺莎所说的看到一切“永恒的亚种”。

Sub specie aeternitatis This means, translated from the Latin, 'under the aspect of eternity' — a memorable phrase from the Ethics, published in 1677 by the Dutch philosopher Baruch Spinoza.

以永恒角度观物从拉丁语翻译过来的意思是“用永恒的观点看待一切”，这句令人难忘的话出自《伦理学》，——由荷兰哲学家巴鲁克·斯宾诺莎于1677年发表。
