Ethics. About God, Man, and His Happiness
29.99 €

The Netherlandish rationalist philosopher Benedict Spinoza (Baruch d'Espinoza) was born in Amsterdam in 1632 to a wealthy family of Spanish Jews who had fled from the persecution of the Inquisition. Operating the so-called geometric method, the philosopher considered the universe as a slender mathematical system and in his reasoning was able to reconcile and bring together the medieval theocratic world of immutable truths and the science of the New Age, which decided that only the tireless work of reason is able to approach the comprehension of truth. For "heretical" ideas Spinoza was eventually expelled from the Jewish community, where he was educated, and subsequently, although his works won respect among the most enlightened people of his time, the philosopher was not inclined to enjoy the benefits of generous patronage. The only work published during Spinoza's lifetime with his name on it was "The Foundations of Descartes' Philosophy Proved by Geometry," with an "Appendix containing Metaphysical Thoughts." The main masterpiece that summarized Spinoza's life's work, the Ethics, on which he had been working since about 1661 and where his system of reasoning appears in all its splendid structure, was published only in 1677, after the author's death.
