Book Description
Written for students coming to Spinoza for the first time, Spinoza and the Ethics is the ideal guide to this rich and illuminating work. This GuideBook provides an overview of critical interpretations, relating the Ethics to its intellectual context, considers its historical reception; and highlights why the work continues to be relevant today. In addition, the most intriguing final sections of the Ethics, usually ignored in introductory commentaries, are given special attention and illuminated as the climax of the work.
Review
"...contains a number of striking thematic insights...engagingly written and rewardingly focused...Readily accessible to its intended audience, the book will also be of considerable interest to more advanced students and philosophers as a further expression of Lloyd's distinctive reading of Spinoza." -- Ethics
"I do believe that this book can provide clear guidance to the first-time reader while challenging the veteran Spinozist with its impressive interpretive insight. The book provides an accessible and engaging introduction to one of philosophy's most challenging works." -- Professor J. Thomas Cook, Rollins College
"I have read Spinoza and the Ethics with great pleasure an am deeply impressed. It discusses an exceptionally wide range of poast and present readings of the Ethics, so that the reader gains a sense of the many angles from which this text has been approached ... It offers an interpretation of the whole of the Ethics, and culminates in a fascinating and nuanced discussion of it final section about the intellectual love of God. Most importantly, it develops a distinctive and insightful account which aims both to do justice to Spinoza's own philosophical aspirations, and to relate these to our own." -- Susan James, Girton College, Cambridge
"Lloyd has many important insights. She emphasizes the plentitude of substance, the identity of thought and reality, intuitive knoledge, the irreducible particularity have been forgotten.." -- Philosophy in Review/Comptes rendus philosophiques
"This well-crafted and pithy introduction to Ethics, intended for students coming to Spinoza for the first time, ranks with the best of its kind to appear since Hampshire's classic Spinoza (1951)." -- Religious Studies Review
