""Aiming to extract life lessons from the philosophy of Spinoza, this vibrant study focusses on the concept of ‘homo liber,’ or the free person, a supremely rational figure continually striving for power and virtue. . . . Spinoza’s work serves as a hopeful, timely statement of what the truth-seeking individual can accomplish."" * New Yorker * ""As an accessible introduction to the complex thought of Spinoza, it is a success.""---Jeffrey Collins, Wall Street Journal ""If you want to become a better person, you ought to study the philosophy of Baruch Spinoza. That at least is the message of Steven Nadler’s delightful new book.""---Jonathan Rée, Literary Review ""A helpful explication of [Spinoza’s] ideas about ethics, the afterlife, and human nature."" * Kirkus Reviews * ""If you want the clearest and most sympathetic introduction as exists to Spinoza’s ideas . . . then Nadler’s your man. This, his latest book, is a must-read for our present, troubled times.""---David Conway, Jewish Chronicle
