His eight-page Introduction offers a succinct interpretive overview of Spinozas system that will be thought-provoking for specialists, while also basic enough to be accessible to novice Spinozists. Morgan also provides a very useful chronology of Spinozas life, a brief introduction to each work, and a light apparatus of footnotes. --Adam Sutcliffe, The Jewish Quarterly ReviewSamuel Shirleys translations are fluent, eminently readable, and responsive to current research. Where a particular passage is difficult or obscure, Shirley never attempts to interpose himself between the reader and Spinoza, nor to side with one or another competing school of thought or interpretation. That makes his translations not just an ideal introduction for the reader new to Spinoza, but also a trustworthy source of insight for the more advanced reader. --Lee Rice, Marquette UniversityA truly marvelous accomplishment. . . . Shirley is undoubtedly the most significant translator of Spinozas writings into English. His translations have the unique ability to integrate accuracy, lucidity, and facility of expression that is unparalleled by other translators of Spinoza. --Douglas Den Uyl, Bellarmine College Long Description The only complete edition in English of Baruch Spinozas works, this volume features Samuel Shirleys preeminent translations, distinguished at once by the lucidity and fluency with which they convey the flavor and meaning of Spinozas original texts.
