Book Details
Contents

An anthology of the work of Baruch de Spinoza which presents the text of Spinoza's masterwork, the "Ethics". It also includes selections from other works by Spinoza, and an introduction that gives an overview of Spinoza's life and the main themes of his philosophy.

The emphasis throughout these selections is on metaphysical, epistemological, and religious issues: the existence and nature of God, his relation to the world, the nature of the human mind and its relation to the body, and the theory of demonstration, axioms, and definitions. For each of these topics, the editor supplements the rigorous discussions in the "Ethics" with informal treatments from Spinoza's other works.
