Media Reviews
�I never recommended a book about Spinoza until now. Steinberg and Viljanen�s Spinoza neatly presents this grand thinker�s �abominable� and �monstrous� metaphysical philosophy, cleanly tying it to his ethics and political theory. Excellent for professionals and amateurs alike.�
Steven Barbone, San Diego State University
�In its comprehensiveness, Steinberg and Viljanen�s book rivals the great encyclopaedic studies of the nineteenth century, while drawing upon the latest historical discoveries and interpretative work. It is a comprehensive and readable introduction to the best current knowledge of Spinoza.�
Alexander Douglas,University of St Andrews
