The Political Treatise , Spinoza's final work, is a largely
theoretical inquiry into the fundamental principles of political
philosophy. This edition offers an exceptional translation by
Samuel Shirley and a prefatory essay by Douglas Den Uyl that
discusses why the Political Treatise deserves the attention of
contemporary scholars. Steven Barbone and Lee Rice provide ample
notes, a substantial bibliography, complete indexes of names and
terms, and a comprehensive general introduction, which considers
the evolution of Spinoza's political thought in the context of the
political and intellectual turmoil of the times, the relationship
between the Political Treatise and the Theological-Political
Treatise , and the importance of the Political Treatise to a full
understanding of Spinoza's political philosophy.
