Hardcover, in-8, 403 pp.

"Ethica" is a philosophical work by Benedictus de Spinoza, also known as Baruch Spinoza, a 17th-century Dutch philosopher. The full title of the work is "Ethica, ordine geometrico demonstrata," which translates to "Ethics, Demonstrated in Geometrical Order." This work is considered Spinoza's magnum opus and was published posthumously in 1677. It is a treatise written in Latin and divided into five parts, each part dealing with a different aspect of existence and reality. The book is unique in its format, as it is written like a mathematical treatise, with definitions, axioms, propositions, and proofs. It delves into complex and profound topics such as God, the nature and origin of the mind, human emotions, and the way to achieve true happiness and understanding.
