Neat! I think this might be a first: a book report!

Progress update: 39 pages left but I'm quite angry at Spinoza right now. There is a part about the slaughtering of animals and Spinoza is very pro "use them as we please". Of course he can explain why that's not only okay but even part of the rational quest. And if you disagree here then it's based on vain superstition and womanish pity and not on sound reason. He likes to lable pity, favour and superstition as "womanish". Worst of all is that thanks to having read all that Spinoza I'm rather brainwashed. I can't be affected by strong emotions anymore without immediately thinking about "the origin and nature of emotions" and being aware of all the connections. Yes, I can explain my emotions Spinoza style now. lol

I bet you didn't think that would happen! I'm not surprised by Spinoza's labeling of pity, superstition and favor "womanish". He and many of the other philosophers/thinkers of that period hoped to conquer their emotions with rationalism.

Thank you for doing this for all of us!
