SynopsisPopkin reconstructs Spinoza the man, and his theories, contrasting these findings with some of the popularity held misconceptions., This authoritative new introduction draws on both Richard H. Popkin's unparalleled scholarship and a wealth of historical and philosophical sources to highlight the real influences behind Spinoza's thought. Popkin reconstructs Spinoza the man, and his theories, contrasting these findings with some of the popularity held misconceptions. Locating him within the context of his family and background, the author assesses the impact on Spinoza of everything from his infamous excommunication, to his affection for Euclidian geometry and the work of Descartes. With a full account of Spinoza's groundbreaking Tractatus and Ethics, and an overview of his influence on both of his contemporaries and those who were to folow, this concise survey offers a variety of new perspectives, and will be warmly welcomed by students, scholars and interested readers alike., This is a concise but comprehensive introduction to a key figure in the history of modern philosophy, Benedict Spinoza., Written by an esteemed scholar and the editor of the History of Western Philosophy (Columbia, 1999), this is the latest addition to Oneworld's popular Philosophers series. Readable, yet based on solid scholarly knowledge and historical insight, Popkin's concise and coherent introduction outlines not only the works of the 17th-century Jewish philosopher, but also his context and his lasting influence. Explaining the key themes of Spinoza's greatest work, Ethics, Popkin elaborates on his theories on religion and his political thought, as well as his theories of mind, emotion and freedom, currently very popular with general readers of science and philosophy.
