This volume collects together Peter Winch's previously unpublished lectures on the philosophy of Baruch Spinoza. Winch's original interpretation of Spinoza's Ethics sheds new light on the work of one history's most difficult and admired philosophers from a different perspective.
Originally published in 1972, this collection of essays on closely related issues in moral philosophy looks at different aspects of people’s understanding of their own and others’ actions in ethical dimensions.

Here Winch addresses the possibility and practice of a comprehensive 'science of society', drawing from the works of such thinkers as Ludwig Wittgenstein, J.S. Mill and Max Weber to make his case.
Professor Winch provides a fresh perspective on the complete span of Simone Weil's work, and discusses the fundamental difficulties of tracing the dividing line between philosophy and religion.
