Spinoza's masterpiece, set out like a geometry book with definitions, axioms and proofs. It moves from God or Nature to the human mind, the emotions and the path to freedom through reason.

Baruch Spinoza

Spinoza's short, unfinished essay on how to find a good that lasts and how to train the mind to know clearly. The best first step before the Ethics.

Baruch Spinoza

The only book Spinoza published under his own name, a geometric restatement of Descartes with his Metaphysical Thoughts as an appendix. Halbert Hains Britan's introduction shows how it leads to his own philosophy.
