4.0 out of 5 stars Spinoza Bad - Translation Good, August 22, 2007
By Strat Man (Shelton CT) - See all my reviews
Spinoza himself was a major disappointment. Even given the period he comes from, it was impossible to look at his philosophy as "enlightened" -- and certainly not enlightening.

However, I am glad that I worked my way through the material. The Elwes translation was not always easy to understand. However, the annotations made it as clear as I can imagine it being. The fault lies in Spinoza's highly circular style, not Elwes' presentation.
