Sections in this chapter11
- Spinoza, Ethics, R. H. M. Elwes translation. Part I's definitions, propositions 5, 11, 14, and 15, and its appendix provide a focused route through the substance argument and critique of purposes in nature.
- Middle Tennessee State University's hypertext edition, prepared by Ron Bombardi from the Elwes translation. Its internal references offer another way to trace the sequence of definitions and proofs.
- In the same primary text, read Part III's definitions and propositions 1, 6-9, and 11 alongside IV.7 and IV.14, then V.3, V.21-23, and V.42. This sequence keeps the account of emotions, the limits of rational control, and the final discussion of eternity connected.
