«Éthique» is the philosophical treatise by Baruch Spinoza published by Flammarion in paperback as volume III of the Oeuvres, in French.
The «Éthique» is the central work of Spinoza's rationalism, set out according to the geometric order: definitions, axioms and propositions. In it, God and nature form a single substance governed by natural laws, and the passions, the modes of knowledge and the path to ethical freedom are examined.
Originally published in 1677 as «Ethica, Ordine Geometrico demonstrata». It is volume III of the Oeuvres (GF, no. 57), with introduction, translation and notes by Charles Appuhn.
A reference work for philosophy readers, particularly those interested in modern rationalism.
John Milton was an English poet, polemicist, and civil servant. His 1667 epic poem Paradise Lost was written in blank verse and included 12 books, written in a time of immense religious flux and political upheaval. It addressed the fall of man, including the temptation of Adam and Eve by the fallen angel Satan, and God's expulsion of them from the Garden of Eden. Paradise Lost elevated Milton's reputation as one of history's greatest poets. He also served as a civil servant for the Commonwealth of England under its Council of State and later under Oliver Cromwell.
