Summary
Spinoza sought to unify mind and body, science and religion, and to derive an ethics of reason, virtue and freedom 'in geometric order' from a monistic metaphysics. Of all the philosophical systems of the seventeenth century it is his that… speaks most deeply to the twentieth century. The essays in this volume provide a clear and systematic exegesis of Spinoza's thought informed by the most recent scholarship. They cover his metaphysics, epistemology, philosophy, ethics, political theory, theology, and scriptural interpretation, as well as his life and influence on later thinkers. 1996.
