Conatus: Definition and origin, Later usages and related concepts & In Spinoza's philosophy
In the philosophy of Baruch Spinoza, conatus (/koʊˈneɪtəs/; Latin for "effort; endeavor; impulse, inclination, tendency; undertaking; striving") is an innate inclination of a thing to continue to exist and enhance itself. This thing may be mind, matter, or a combination of both, and is often associated with God's will in a pantheist view of nature. The…

Connections between topic areas Semantic bridges
Semantic bridges connect parts of the graph that would otherwise be more separate. A bridge is a structural signal in this analysis, not a claim that the two topic areas are equivalent.
For Conatus, one of the stronger structural bridges in this analysis connects Conatus with Definition and origin. Bridges highlight paths between different parts of the map and can reveal research angles that are easy to miss in a flat list.
