Benedict de Spinoza: His Life, Correspondence, and Ethics

Descripción

First edition in English of Spinoza s famed Ethics(the iconic novelist, George Eliot, first translated it in the mid-1850s but financial disagreements prevented publication until quite recently).*** Publisher s blue cloth binding a bit shaken, edges worn, joints fraying, general wear, rubbing, and small faded stains. Endpapers and half-title foxed. Damp stain on top third of front pastedown, first endpaper, and along a segment of text block top edge. It s been well-handled through the years, but it remains a sturdy, sound tome with clean pages. A Fair copy of a rare book. None in the sales records since the roaring 20s, and also rarely seen in the contemporary book trade.*** In this masterpiece, Spinoza elucidates his views on God, human nature, and the pathway for virtue and blessedness. Ethics was published shortly after his death, but too threatening to the small-minded authorities of his day, it and his other works would be banned for many years. *** Ref: Spinoza in English: A Bibliography from the Seventeenth Century to the Present, Wayne Boucher***Please email us for better pricing.
