The present volume posits the themes of freedom, action, and
motivation as the central principles that drive Spinoza's Ethics
from its first part to its last. It assembles essays by
internationally leading scholars who provide different, sometimes
opposing interpretations of these fundamental themes as they
operate across the five parts of the Ethics and within its manifold
domains. The diversity of issues, approaches, and perspectives
within this volume, along with the chapters' common focus, open up
new ways of understanding not only some of the key concepts and
main objectives in the Ethics but also the threads unifying the
entire work. The sequence of essays in the book broadly follows the
order of the Ethics, providing up-to-date perspectives of Spinoza's
views on freedom, action, and motivation in their ontological,
cognitive, physical, affective, and ethical facets. This enables
readers to engage with a variety of new interpretations of these
key themes of the Ethics and to reconsider their consequences both
for other related issues in the Ethics and for the relevance of the
Ethics to contemporary trends in philosophy of action and
motivation. The essays will contribute to the growing interest in
Spinoza's Ethics and spark further discussion and debate within and
outside the vast body of scholarship on this important work.
Freedom, Action, and Motivation in Spinoza's Ethics will be of
interest to scholars and advanced students working on Spinoza and
early modern philosophy, as well as on philosophy of action and
motivation.
