Description

Spinoza’s major work, Ethics, published posthumously, is difficult to understand since it is written in a geometric manner. The book has five parts: On God, On the Origin of Mind, On the Nature of the Emotions, On Bondage to Emotions, and On the Power of the Intellect for Freedom. George Leone attempts to present and explain Spinoza’s philosophy in a way that makes it usable in one’s own life.

George Leone has graduate degrees in philosophy and counseling. He is a retired professor who has developed a focused interest in Kierkegaard’s existential philosophy and ancient Greek philosophy. He has written a book on Kierkegaard’s existential philosophy and has another book in pre-publication, The Emergence of Wisdom in Ancient Greek Philosophy.
