By laying the groundwork for the 18th century Enlightenment he came to be considered one of the great rationalists of the 17th-century philosophy. And his magnum opus, the posthumous Ethics, in which he opposed Descartes' mind-body dualism, has also earned him recognition as one of Western philosophy's most important contributors.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51367380025567,"sku":"9781502361448","price":8.08,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0813\/8958\/4607\/files\/N9y9I-KcII9781502361448.webp?v=1789106164"},{"product_id":"spinozas-ethics-paperback","title":"Spinoza's Ethics - Paperback","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAn authoritative edition of George Eliot's elegant translation of Spinoza's greatest philosophical work\u003c\/b\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eIn 1856, Marian Evans completed her translation of Benedict de Spinoza's \u003ci\u003eEthics\u003c\/i\u003e while living in Berlin with the philosopher and critic George Henry Lewes. This would have become the first edition of Spinoza's controversial masterpiece in English, but the translation remained unpublished because of a disagreement between Lewes and the publisher. Later that year, Evans turned to fiction writing, and by 1859 she had published her first novel under the pseudonym George Eliot. This splendid edition makes Eliot's translation of the \u003ci\u003eEthics\u003c\/i\u003e available to today's readers while also tracing Eliot's deep engagement with Spinoza both before and after she wrote the novels that established her as one of English literature's greatest writers. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eClare Carlisle's introduction places the \u003ci\u003eEthics\u003c\/i\u003e in its seventeenth-century context and explains its key philosophical claims.
