Baruch Spinoza Libri

Gli scritti di Baruch Spinoza hanno gettato le basi per l'Illuminismo del XVIII secolo e per la critica biblica moderna. Grazie alla sua opera principale, l'Etica, Spinoza è considerato uno dei più importanti eticisti della filosofia occidentale.

"After experience had taught me that all the usual surroundings of social life are vain and futile; seeing that none of the objects of my fears contained in themselves anything either good or bad, except in so far as the mind is affected by them, I finally resolved to inquire whether there might be some real good having power to communicate itself, which would affect the mind singly, to the exclusion of all else: whether, in fact, there might be anything of which the discovery and attainment would enable me to enjoy continuous, supreme, and unending happiness."
