Description

Spinoza's Ethics is an authoritative translation by George Eliot, first published in 2020. This edition provides insight into Eliot's intellectual formation and her engagement with Spinoza's philosophical ideas, which influenced her literary work. Clare Carlisle's introduction places the Ethics within its seventeenth-century context, explaining its key claims and discussing the circumstances of Eliot's translation. The edition also includes notes on Eliot's amendments to her manuscript and her translation decisions, alongside more recent English editions. This edition offers a unique perspective on Spinoza's masterpiece, tracing the connections between his radical insights and Eliot's novels, and demonstrating why her translation remains one of the most compelling and philosophically astute renderings of Spinoza's Latin text.
