Spinoza's Ethics is one of the most remarkable, important, and
difficult books in the history of philosophy: a treatise
simultaneously on metaphysics, knowledge, philosophical psychology,
moral philosophy, and political philosophy. It presents, in
Spinoza's famous 'geometric method', his radical views on God,
Nature, the human being, and happiness. In this wide-ranging 2006
introduction to the work, Steven Nadler explains the doctrines and
arguments of the Ethics, and shows why Spinoza's endlessly
fascinating ideas may have been so troubling to his contemporaries,
as well as why they are still highly relevant today. He also
examines the philosophical background to Spinoza's thought and the
dialogues in which Spinoza was engaged - with his contemporaries
(including Descartes and Hobbes), with ancient thinkers (especially
the Stoics), and with his Jewish rationalist forebears. His book is
written for the student reader but will also be of interest to
specialists in early modern philosophy.
