What is Benedict de Spinoza: An Introduction, Revised Edition about?
From the rear cover of this 254 page book: "This highly acclaimed book provides a general introduction to the life and works of one of the major philosophers of the seventeenth century. In this revised edition, Henry E. Allison has rewritten the central chapters on the 'Ethics', taking into consideration the most important recent literature on Spinoza's metaphysics, epistemology, psychology, and moral theory. This is an excellent general introduction to Spinoza's thought. Allison expounds Spinoza sympathetically, but without glossing over the difficulties. Though written in a way which should make it accessible to undergraduates, his book also contains much that would make it of interest to more advanced students." And "An exposition that is lucid and direct as well as faithful to the intricate reasoning. Without either popularizing condescension, this presentation attains an exacting overview of the entire philosophy, which is consistently meaningful and accurate."
