This anthology of the work of Baruch de Spinoza (1632-1677) presents the text of Spinoza's masterwork, the "Ethics", in what is now the standard translation by Edwin Curley. Also included are selections from other works by Spinoza, chosen by Curley to make the "Ethics" easier to understand, and a substantial introduction that gives an overview of Spinoza's life and the main themes of his philosophy. Perfect for course use, the "Spinoza Reader" is a practical tool with which to approach one of the world's greatest but most difficult thinkers, a passionate seeker of the truth who has been viewed by some as an atheist and by others as a religious mystic. The anthology begins with the opening section of the "Treatise on the Emendation of the Intellect", which has always moved readers by its description of the young Spinoza's spiritual quest, his dissatisfaction with the things people ordinarily strive for - wealth, honour, and sensual pleasure - and his hope that the pursuit of knowledge would lead him to discover the true good.
The emphasis throughout these selections is on metaphysical, epistemological, and religious issues - the existence and nature of God, his relation to the world
