Review Quotes:
"Peter Winch's depth as a philosopher comes out in the depth of his engagement with Spinoza. Spinoza's ethical concerns resonated with Winch's own; and his lectures are wonderfully expressive of how he saw philosophy itself. Winch's discussions of the complex relation between Descartes's philosophy and that of Spinoza are among the most valuable features of this fine book." - Cora Diamond, Kenan Professor Of Philosophy Emerita, Department of Philosophy, University of Virginia
