Ethics — Part 1 by Benedictus de Spinoza
"Ethics — Part 1" by Benedictus de Spinoza is a philosophical treatise written between 1661 and 1675. This opening section explores the relationship between God and the universe through geometric proofs modeled after Euclid's method. Spinoza argues that God is identical with nature itself, not separate from creation. Through definitions, axioms, and propositions, he presents a radical vision where everything follows necessarily from divine nature, challenging traditional views about free will, divine
purpose, and human understanding. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
