Summary

"Ethics — Part 2" by Benedictus de Spinoza is a journey into the world of ideas, examining the origin and qualities of the mind. This book builds on previous teachings, exploring thought and extension and taking the reader through the core of the human thought in order to understand its connection to a higher being and our understanding of reality. The book is set up with a series of definitions and ideas that will lead the reader through his arguments. He starts by explaining important ideas and words so that the reader won't misunderstand what he's about to explore. All of which sets the stage for understanding our knowledge, consciousness, and perceptions in the concepts to come.

About the Author

Baruch (de) Spinoza, also known under his Latinized pen name Benedictus de Spinoza, was a philosopher of Portuguese-Jewish origin. A forerunner of the Age of Enlightenment, Spinoza significantly influenced modern biblical criticism, 17th-century rationalism, and Dutch intellectual culture, establishing himself as one of the most important and radical philosophers of the early modern period. Influenced by Stoicism, Thomas Hobbes, René Descartes, Ibn Tufayl, and heterodox Christians, Spinoza was a leading philosopher of the Dutch Golden Age.
