Ethics

Book • 2020
Written between 1661 and 1675 and published posthumously in 1677, *Ethics* is a comprehensive philosophical work divided into five parts.

It addresses the nature of God, concluding that God is intrinsic to the universe rather than outside it.

The treatise dissects the human mind and body, explores the notion of free will and good and evil, and analyzes the origin and strength of emotions.

Spinoza argues that reason is the sole means to achieve virtue and freedom from emotional bondage.

The work is characterized by its use of Euclid's step-by-step logical method to prove various propositions.
