Benedict de Spinoza lived a life of blameless simplicity as alens-grinder in Holland. And yet in his lifetime, he was expelledfrom the Jewish community in Amsterdam as a heretic, and after hisdeath his words were first banned by the Christian authorities asatheistic, then hailed by humanists as the gospel of Pantheism. His"Ethics Demonstrated in Geometrical Order" shows us the realitybehind this enigmatic figure. First published by his friends afterhis premature death at the age of 44, the "Ethics" uses the methodsof Euclid to describe a single entity, properly called both "God"and "Nature", of which mind and matter are two manifestations. Fromthis follow, in ways that are strikingly modern, the identity ofmind and body, the necessary causation of events and actions, andthe illusory nature of free will.

有人说：能不累吗？中小学生要应付学业，大学生愁于就业，工作的人谋求更高的工作岗位和更适合自己的职业，更别说复杂的人际关系带给我们的困扰。不能否认，我们身处一个竞争异常激烈的时代。就拿学生的学习来说，课业负担异常繁重，从小学一年级开始，孩子就要承受巨大的学*担。教育主管部门也好，家长也好，都已认识到这一弊端，大声呼吁并采取一定措施为孩子减负，但效果却不那么尽如人意。究其原因，是时代的快速发展给人以极强烈的紧迫感，让你无法停留。“学如逆水行舟，不进则退。”为了不居人后，人们拼命给自己增加压力。学习是这样，工作、婚姻、生活以及做人做事又何尝不是这样？但是，人的承受能力是有限的，过大的压力会带来身体和精神方面的巨大伤害。西方人有去看心理医生的习惯，而中国人不会把压力带给人的身心困扰看

What better way to sing their praises than by declaring more than a thousand great things about them' That's what the successful author trio of Birnbach, Hodgman, and Marx does in this fourth book of their highly successful 1,003 Great Things series.
