and I dare say, it's a loss, that #Boole's #LoT exercise on #ethics part I #DeDeo is not really present in contemporary #Spinoza discussion.

Though #Boole's analysis ends up with some critical comment, it's one of the very few #logical studies of #Spinoza's way of argument, and for sure the most faithful one, I ever found. While in some points I don't agree with the analysis, I wish had known these paragraphs (#LoT chapt. XIII, §§16-18) when I wrote down my respective paper, to include it in my discussion.

thank you for citing this felicitous picture from Clare Carlisle's article in the Guardian.

my study of #Spinoza's #metaphysics in #Ethics part I, #DeDeo , while in substantial ways referring to purely formal methods, complies as well fully with this not only intuitive but - the more - instructive picture.
