Spinoza is one of the great philosophers of the 17th century. Observing that all people seek happiness and do so primarily through wealth, popularity, or sensual pleasure without success, Spinoza sought a true path to supreme and unending happiness. What he found was detailed in his work "Ethics." His Ethics includes nothing supernatural and requires no leaps of faith. It is based solely on logic and reason.

Spinoza's work is extremely difficult, written in the form of Euclid's mathematical logic, including definitions, axioms, propositions, and proofs. Consisting of five parts, academics have been struggling for over 300 years, with the first two parts rarely getting past that point.

This book explains the concepts behind Spinoza's Ethics in modern terms, rendering the work intelligible. Concepts explained include:

• God
• attributes
• finite and infinite modes
• determinism
• natura naturata and natura naturans
• three kinds of knowledge
• conatus
• humanity's relationship with nature
• causes of humanity's failures and frustrations
• path to freedom and happiness
• life after death

This book will significantly reduce the effort it takes to unravel one of humanity's most essential and beneficial works.
