Prefatory Explanation It must be remarked at once that I am
'editor' of this volume only in that I had the honor of presiding
at the symposium on Spinoza and the Sciences at which a number of
these papers were presented (exceptions are those by Hans Jonas,
Richard Popkin, Joe VanZandt and our four European contributors),
in that I have given some editorial advice on details of some of
the papers, including translations, and finally, in that my name
appears on the cover. The choice of speakers, and of addi tional
contributors, is entirely due to Robert Cohen and Debra Nails; and
nearly all the burden of readying the manuscript for the press has
been borne by the latter. In the introduction to another anthology
on Spinoza I opened my remarks by quoting a statement of Sir Stuart
Hampshire about inter pretations of Spinoza's chief work: All these
masks have been fitted on him and each of them does to some extent
fit. But they remain masks, not the living face. They do not show
the moving tensions and unresolved conflicts in Spinoza's Ethics.
(Hampshire, 1973, p. 297) The double theme of 'moving tensions' and
'unresolved conflicts' seems even more appropriate to the present
volume. What is Spinoza's rela tion to the sciences? The answers
are many, and they criss-cross one another in a number of
complicated ways."
