"Ethics" by Benedictus de Spinoza is a philosophical treatise written in the mid-17th century. The work systematically examines the nature of reality, the existence of God, and the interplay between nature and human thought. It seeks to establish a framework for understanding ethics through a geometric method, aiming for clarity and logical rigor. The beginning of "Ethics" introduces foundational concepts and definitions fundamental to Spinoza's philosophy. He defines substance, attributes, modes, and the nature of God, emphasizing that God is an absolutely infinite being whose essence includes existence. Spinoza outlines key propositions that explore the implications of substances and their modifications, ultimately arguing for a singular framework in which everything exists in God. This introductory section sets the stage for a more detailed exploration of the mind, human emotion, and the essence of existence, promising an intricate argumentation that intertwines metaphysics and ethics.
