Purchase options and add-ons

Since its publication in 1677, Spinoza’s Ethics has fascinated philosophers, novelists, and scientists alike. It is undoubtedly one of the most exciting and contested works of Western philosophy. Written in an austere, geometrical fashion, the work teaches us how we should live, ending with an ethics in which the only thing good in itself is understanding. Spinoza argues that only that which hinders us from understanding is bad and shows that those endowed with a human mind should devote themselves, as much as they can, to a contemplative life. This Companion volume provides a detailed, accessible exposition of the Ethics. Written by an internationally known team of scholars, it is the first anthology to treat the whole of the Ethics and is written in an accessible style.

My research focuses on early modern philosophy, including Kant. Thus far my best-known work is Spinoza’s Geometry of Power (Cambridge University Press, 2011); my and Justin Steinberg's Spinoza (Polity Press), intended for wider audience, appeared very recently.

Michael P Kalish
4.0 out of 5 stars Tough going but well worth the effort
Reviewed in the United States on September 18, 2013
Verified Purchase
Very scholarly. As a layman, it was a challenge to follow/understand some of the articles. Nevertheless, with a bit of effort, I gained some further insights into Spinoza's thought. Especially enjoyed the article discussing the stoic influences on Spinoza's philosophy.
