The Oxford Philosophical Texts series consists of authoritative teaching editions of canonical texts in the history of philosophy from the ancient world down to modern times. Each volume provides a clear, well laid out text together with a comprehensive introduction by a leading specialist, giving the student detailed critical guidance on the intellectual context of the work and the structure and philosophical important of the main arguments and explain unfamiliar references and terminology, and a full bibliography and index are also included. The series aims to build up a definitive corpus of key texts in the Western philosophical tradition, which will from a reliable and enduring resource for students and teachers alike. Spinoza's Ethics is one of the classical texts of philosophy but is also one of the most difficult to understand because of the author's use of rigorous logical deduction and the geometrical framework within which his ideas are set. In Ethics, he discusses the nature of human beings and the way in which a rational person might live; the nature of God; and offers an account of true freedom and how it can be attained. This latest text in the Oxford Philosophical Texts series includes a new, lucid translation of the Ethics by G.H.R. Parkinson along with a comprehensive guide to the understanding of Spinoza's work. An extensive introduction includes: a short biography of Spinoza himself; the form of his writing including his own particular uses of definitions; an introductory guide through the philosophy of Ethics; and a summary of the contents of Ethics itself. Further aids include a glossary of terms, extensive notes to the text.

LIVE Right and you’ll THINK Right.
Ethical living gives you a Crystal Clear Mind.
THIS is Spinoza’s message. And it’s so wonderfully true.
You may not grasp the arguments of this book the first time around, but come back to it after you’ve put its ideas into practice, and you’ll SEE...
Not only that, says Spinoza, but as he takes us further and further into the strictly Logical Patterns of Nature - Nature for him being synonymous with God - you’ll embark on a mystical journey into the very nature of the world.
‘Nuff said.
But if you buy a copy - and it’s dirt cheap - and borrow a good analysis of his arguments from your local library, you’ll be off and running.
You’ll find this magical world unfolding when you try to be Good.
But for me, it was tough to be good in 1969...
It was a hot, sultry summer in our valley, and as I read this book, my nattering testosterone levels were at their lifetime peak. Goes with teen territory, of course.
But free for the summer, with a uni survey of western philosophy under my belt, I was resolute.
I set my jaw determinedly and bored a hole through these pages with my concentration.
And it worked.
Because of it, I was DETERMINED henceforth to lead a Good Life.
Bless you, Baruch!
Now, the world didn’t love my choice of behaviour - in fact, it objected strenuously, as it will always do - but, having my Mom’s wilful genes, I stuck to my guns.
And now, fifty plus years later, I am SO glad I did.
Yes, it worked, and NOW in my life - just like in that Hippie Poster called Desiderata -
“Doubtless the World is Unfolding as it SHOULD.â€
And that’s as good as it gets.
And if you do good, and smile away the pain -
And this is for darned sure, my friends -
One day you’ll REJOICE - BRINGING IN THE SHEAVES!
