About this book

Spinoza's philosophy is presented for the general reader in this selection edited by Joseph Ratner. The Ethics is taken out of its geometrical form, with most formal propositions, demonstrations and cross-references dropped and related passages grouped under headings, alongside extracts from the Letters and the Improvement of the Understanding. Other selections come from the Theologico-Political Treatise, in Elwes's translation, and the Political Treatise, and an appendix gives sources. Spinoza's own chapter headings, such as Of the Interpretation of Scripture and The Vocation of the Hebrews, are kept where possible.

Benedictus de Spinoza

Benedict de Spinoza (1632 to 1677) was a Dutch philosopher of Portuguese Jewish descent, expelled from Amsterdam's Jewish community at twenty-three for his opinions. He ground optical lenses for a living, turned down a professorship to keep his independence, and died of a lung ailment at forty-four.
