Etica
Book • 1677
Spinoza's 'Ethics' is a profound philosophical work divided into five parts.
It applies Euclid's method to philosophy, starting with definitions and axioms to derive numerous propositions and corollaries.
The book challenges Cartesian dualism, arguing that the mind and body are not separate substances but different aspects of the same substance.
It discusses the nature of emotions, the concept of 'conatus' (the striving to preserve one's being), and the role of reason in achieving freedom from emotional bondage.
The work concludes by emphasizing the importance of rational understanding and the pursuit of virtue as self-preservation, leading to a life of happiness and harmony with nature.
