The Collected Works of Spinoza provides, for the first time in English, a truly satisfactory edition of all of Spinoza's writings, with accurate and readable translations, based on the best critical editions of the original-language texts, done by a scholar who has published extensively on the philosopher's work. This first volume contains Spinoza' "Far more than a fresh translation. . . . [A] model of the translator-editor's art."---B. A. Gerrish, Journal of Religion
