<div>This book provides depth and insight into the philosophical doctrine of Rene Descartes, and compares it to the metaphysics of Spinoza himself.<BR />  </div>

Principles of Cartesian Philosophy

<div>Letters that appear in this volume cover only the last two decades of Spinoza&rsquo;s life and represent a mere fraction of the immense correspondence he carried on during his lifetime.<BR /><BR /></div>

Letters to Friend and Foe

<div>The seventeenth century Dutch philosopher views the ability to experience rational love of God as the key to mastering the contradictory and violent human emotions.<BR /><BR /></div>

The Road to Inner Freedom

<div>Translated by Dr. A. Wolf from the Dutch [version of the author&rsquo;s <I>Tractatus de Deo et homine</I>] and edited and with an introduction by Dagobert D. Runes.<BR />  <BR /> Spinoza is today considered the Philosopher of Modern Times, as Aristotle was the Philosopher of Antiquity. In spite of which, he remains the best known and least read of the great thinkers.<BR /><BR /><I>The Book of God</I>, one of his earliest works, came to light only a hundred years ago in two slightly varying Dutch manuscripts. Its youthful author lived in turbulent times, when the Western world was torn by civil and religious strife, and bullies, bigots and pseudo-prophets vied for the ear of a fearful people. While Europe was in an uproar over the right church, Spinoza was seeking the right God. This book is the first known report of his findings. Appearing like a draft for his later Ethics, it is a Guide for the Bewildered. Those who see in philosophy no more than an intellectual exercise will have no difficulty dismissing it. But those imbued with the longing for a better and freer life will find here a most rewarding fountain of faith.</div>

The Book of God

<div><B>Essential teachings, brilliant musings, and provocative theories from three of history&rsquo;s greatest thinkers.</B><BR /><BR /><I>The Road to Inner Freedom</I>: The seventeenth-century Dutch philosopher Baruch Spinoza views the ability to experience rational love of God as the key to mastering the contradictory and violent human emotions.<BR />  <BR /><I>The Art of Philosophizing</I>: These groundbreaking essays by Bertrand Russell deal with &ldquo;the art of reckoning&rdquo; in the fields of mathematics, logic, and philosophy. With great clarity and simple exposition, Russell gets to the core of philosophical inquiry and analysis.<BR />  <BR /><I>Pilgrimage to Humanity</I>: Albert Schweitzer discusses his philosophy of culture, the course of his life, his ministry to human needs in Africa, the idea of reverence for life, the ideal of world peace, the significance of liberal Christianity, and the lives, world-views, and contributions of Johann Goethe, Johann Sebastian Bach, and Jesus of Nazareth.<BR />  <BR />  <BR />  </div>

Great Philosophers Volume One

<div><P><B>The Enlightenment thinker asserts that mental tranquility is achieved through knowledge of God in this brief philosophical treatise.</B></P><P>Seventeenth-century philosopher Baruch Spinoza was one of the most original and important thinkers of his time. His magnum opus, <I>Ethics</I>, influenced generations of great minds from Karl Marx to Ludwig Wittgenstein and George Santayana. In this earlier work, Spinoza articulates his view that life is best lived with the supreme happiness of knowing God&rsquo;s infinite love. By extension, all earthly pursuits&mdash;including money, fame, and sex&mdash;are mere distractions from the greater joy of the soul&rsquo;s quietude.</P> This edition of <I>How to Improve Your Mind</I> is translated by the philosopher and founder of the Philosophical Library, Dagobert D. Runes. Runes also provides exclusive commentary and biographical notes.</div>
