SPINOZA

This site (previously hosted by Meta4 Multimedia) offers an introduction to the life and work of the Dutch philosopher Benedict de Spinoza. It's broken up into three main parts, which you can access using the buttons which you'll find at the bottom of this and every page.

The Life takes you to a summary of Spinoza's life, plus a more detailed account of his activities in Amsterdam, in Rijnsburg and in the Hague.

The Philosophy provides an overview of Spinoza's philosophy, further broken down under various sub-headings.

The Work lists Spinoza's books, together with more detail of their publishing history and content (including, in some cases, links to web versions of the texts.)

There is also the beginings of a Bibliography (including hot-links to other Spinoza sites), and About this Site, which gives some of the history behind the making of this project (which is freely adapted from a Hypercard stack first created in the late-1980s.)

The metal studs that you see at the top and bottom of this page will always return you to this introduction. The central bottom button will take you to the top of the iansie site, on which this project is housed.
