| Summary |
Baruch Spinoza's 'Ethics' was published in 1677 just after his death and is regarded as among the most important philosophical work of continental early modern Europe. In this guide Michael LeBuffe follows the 'Ethics' closely and helps readers to understand Spinoza's masterpiece for themselves. It is a hugely ambitious work that offers strong, controversial views on almost every aspect of philosophy |
