Description
Benedict de Spinoza's Ethics is a profound and beautiful work of philosophy that presents a unique and elegant cosmology. This masterpiece, published shortly after the author's death, provides a coherent picture of reality and a guide to living an ethical life. The Ethics follows a logical step-by-step format, defining key concepts such as the nature of God, the mind, and human bondage to emotions, before moving on to consider the eternal, human freedom, and the path to attainable happiness. This edition includes an introduction by Stuart Hampshire, providing context and insight into Spinoza's philosophy.
