Summary

Spinoza’s Ethics is a systematic exposition of his philosophy. The seventeenth century has been labelled the “age of the great systems,” and although there were many philosophers who strove to develop comprehensive systems, Spinoza actually accomplished an integral presentation of his thought. The Ethics was in fact his second attempt.
