Thirteen original essays by leading scholars explore aspects of
Spinoza's ethical theory and, in doing so, deepen our understanding
of the richly rewarding core of his system. Given its importance to
his philosophical ambitions, it is surprising that his ethics has,
until recently, received relatively little scholarly attention.
Anglophone philosophy has tended to focus on Spinoza's contribution
to metaphysics and epistemology, while philosophy in continental
Europe has tended to show greater interest in his political
philosophy. This tendency is problematic not only because it
overlooks a central part of Spinoza's project, but also because it
threatens to present a distorted picture of his philosophy.
Moreover, Spinoza's ethics, like other branches of his philosophy,
is complex, difficult, and, at times, paradoxical. The essays in
this volume advance our understanding of his ethics and also help
us to appreciate it as the centerpiece of his system. In addition
to resolving interpretive difficulties and advancing longstanding
debates, these essays point the direction for future research.
Spinoza's enduring contribution to the development of ethical
theory, to early modern philosophy, and indeed to early modern
history generally, provide us with good reason to follow the lead
of these essays.
