The Essential Spinoza: Ethics and Related Writings

Designed to facilitate a thoughtful and informed reading of Spinoza's *Ethics*, this anthology provides the *Ethics*, related writings, and two valuable appendices: List of Propositions from the *Ethics*, which helps readers to trace the development of key themes; and Citations in Proofs, a list of all the propositions, corollaries, and scholia in the Ethics, together with all the definitions, axioms, propositions, corollaries, and scholia to which Spinoza refers in the proofs--thus, readers can locate, for a given item, each instance where Spinoza refers to it.
