Abstract

Amongst the proliferation of recent works in the same genre — introductory-level monographs on a philosopher — few have garnered as much anticipation and interest among scholars as Michael Della Rocca's Spinoza. Over the past fifteen years or so, Della Rocca has produced an impressive range of material on Spinoza that is widely admired for its clarity and ingenuity. And in some of his more recent work, he has suggested that a particularly strong version of the principle of sufficient reason might be the key to cracking some of the greatest mysteries in Spinoza interpretation. This book promised to bring together the many aspects of Della Rocca's interpretation, with the PSR serving as the guiding thread. The final product does not disappoint: it is an exciting and philosophically rich, yet accessible, account of Spinoza's philosophy, which presents Spinoza as an internally coherent and formidable philosopher. Spinoza is meaty enough to engage all readers philosophically, but sufficiently digested so as not to overburden those who are new to Spinoza with too much scholarly detail.
