This important new book examines Spinoza's moral and political
philosophy. Specifically, it considers Spinoza's engagement with
the themes of Stoicism and his significant contribution to the
origins of the European Enlightenment. Firmin DeBrabander explores
the problematic view of the relationship between ethics and
politics that Spinoza apparently inherited from the Stoics and in
so doing asks some important questions that contribute to a crucial
contemporary debate. Does ethics provide any foundation for
political theory and if so in what way? Likewise, does politics
contribute anything essential to the life of virtue? And what is
the political place and public role of the philosopher as a
practitioner of ethics? In examining Spinoza's Ethics, his most
important and widely-read work, and exploring the ways in which
this work echoes Stoic themes regarding the public behaviour of the
philosopher, the author seeks to answer these key questions and
thus makes a fascinating contribution to the study of moral and
political philosophy.
