Staring into the void

"Staring into the Void is designed to meet the needs of three audiences: general readers interested in the thought of major philosophers in the Western tradition, especially thought that speaks profoundly to modern anxieties about personal identity, objective reality, human nature, and the bearing of all these on the possibility of a just political order; students in philosophy and humanities courses dealing with these concerns; intellectual historians with a professional interest in new insights into the crucial or contested parts of Spinoza's thought."--Jacket.
