Essential for Spinozists
For us Spinozists most one-volume compendia are welcome, and none more so than this one edited by Michael Morgan. Its contents include the Ethics in its entirety, the Treatise on God, Man, and His Well-Being (extracts), Principles of Cartesian Philosophy, Part I, and the Letters (selections). For its price I can't think of a better introductory text to Spinoza's profound system of thought. Highly recommended.
