Synopsis

True Freedom: Spinoza's Practical Philosophy focuses on the practicality of Spinoza's thought. This is revealed through the subsidiary themes of ethics as an experimentalism, Spinoza's conception of freedom, and the social themes of politics, religion, and the environment. While the book focuses primarily on Spinoza's major work, the Ethics. It also draws on the Theological-Political Treatise, the Political Treatise, and Spinoza's correspondence.

Media Reviews
A real strength of True Freedom is that it does not water down Spinoza's views beyond recognition in order to make them accessible. As a Spinoza specialist and a professor, I gleaned some really good ideas from the manuscript about how to present and explain some of Spinoza's more difficult ideas without completely losing my students. I could recommend the book to other specialists and teachers of early modern philosophy as a source of helpful pedagogical approaches. -- J. Thomas Cook Cook, Rollins College
