Description
"I determined, I say, to inquire whether I might discover the faculty of enjoying throughout eternity continual supreme happiness."
With these words, Benedict de Spinoza set himself the task of seeking and laying down the principles whereby men may guide their actions, emotions, and thinking in all aspects of their everyday life.
Seldom has a philosophy of life fathered so much commentary or been so variously interpreted. Its author was excommunicated by the Jews and vilified by the Gentiles during his lifetime; he has been reviled and exalted as an Atheist, Pantheist, Monotheist, Materialist, Rationalist, and Mystic. Yet, most of Spinoza criticism has been based upon the examination of isolated passages and individual books, rather than on the study of his work as a whole.
Now, for the first time in many years, this new edition brings together all the principal writings of this universal thinker.
[Unabridged republication of the Bohn Library edition].
