Description
The Collected Works of Spinoza, Volume II by Benedictus de Spinoza This second and final volume of the most authoritative English-language edition of Spinoza's writings presents a comprehensive collection of his writings, featuring accurate and readable translations based on the best critical editions of the original-language texts. The centerpiece of this volume is Spinoza's Theological-Political Treatise, a landmark work in the history of biblical scholarship and a powerful argument for democracy and freedom of thought. The volume also includes Spinoza's later correspondence, which responds to criticism of the Theological-Political Treatise, as well as his unfinished Political Treatise, which outlines plans for the organization of non-tyrannical monarchies and aristocracies. A detailed editorial apparatus, including prefaces, notes, glossary, and indexes, supports the reader in understanding one of the world's most fascinating and complex philosophers. For scholars and anyone interested in Spinoza's work, this edition is a milestone of scholarship, providing a definitive collection of his writings for the first time in English.
