The mastery of fate

Errol E. Harris

pp. 160-180

Abstract

Spinoza's account of morality begins in Part IV of the Ethics, in his usual fashion with definition of terms. He then proceeds to explain and demonstrate man's inevitable subjection to passion and kind of behaviour it occasions, indicating the extent to which it may be regarded as good or bad in accordance with the definition of these terms that he has given.
