Benedictus Spinoza (1632-77) was among the most important of the
post-Cartesian philosophers of the second half of the seventeenth
century. He made original contributions in every major area of
philosophy. His work reflects the influences of Stoicism,
Maimonides, Machiavelli, Hobbes, Descartes, and others. Spinoza is
best known for his Ethics, which is often held up as a supreme
example of a self-contained metaphysical system intended to explain
the universe. Some of his psychological influences, perhaps lesser
known, anticipated Freud. This book is the first to offer an
accessible, encyclopedic account of Spinoza's life and ideas, his
influences and commentators, and his lasting significance. Some of
the best features include an annotated chronology of Spinoza's
life, bibliographies of his major influences and critics, a
substantive dictionary of key Spinozan concepts, and summaries of
Spinoza's principal writings. The work concludes with an essay on
Spinoza's place in modern academic scholarship. This work is a
valuable tool for anyone interested in Spinoza and the era of great
change in which he lived and wrote.
