Author Information

From an early age the author was a cheer leader for the human mind but had not the means or experience to express the thought clearly. After years of research and study he met with Spinoza's work. A new world opened up which on his own the author would not have uncovered. 30 years later and after mastering the complexity of Spinoza's masterwork: Ethics Demonstrated in the Geometric Method , he realized a responsiblity had befallen him. This pamphlet and discussion and illustration is an effort to thank and to attempt to repay the Blessed Spinoza for his mastery and incomparable intelligence and insight.
