Rezensionen

"Olli Koistinen brings his many years of devotion to Spinoza's metaphysics to provide an overall interpretation which helps us see what it means to see the world through Spinoza's lenses. His work is at once attentive to details and expansive in providing a landscape view of Spinoza's strange and captivating universe."
