Ethics

The Ethics is a book written by a famous philosopher Benedict de Spinoza. It is the main work of this Jewish-Dutch philosopher where he exposed methodically his philosophy. Here he describes his thoughts about God, about emotions and their power over a person, and about the power of a human mind. Spinoza was rather respected by his adherents. Spinoza was admired, read, and interpreted; not only such philosophers as Berkeley, Hume, Schelling, Hegel, but also great scientists, enlighteners, and poets – Diderot, Hereder, Goethe debated with him. The Ethics was published for the first time after the philosopher’s death in 1677 in Amsterdam as a part of Opera Posthuma. The book is addressed to everyone who is interested in the history of philosophy.
