Ethics — Part 2 by Benedictus de Spinoza
"Ethics — Part 2" by Benedictus de Spinoza is the second part of a philosophical treatise written between 1661 and 1675. This section examines the nature and origin of the human mind and body, challenging Cartesian philosophy's fundamental assumptions. Spinoza argues that mind and body are one entity viewed differently, rejects free will, and distinguishes three kinds of knowledge—from unreliable sensory perception to intuitive understanding that relates particular things to God's nature.
