«Ética demostrada según el orden geométrico» is the philosophy treatise by Baruch de Espinosa, published by Orbis in hardcover (365 pages, in Spanish).
Composed in the 17th century and published posthumously in 1677, it sets out a philosophical system articulated with definitions, axioms and propositions in the geometric manner. It examines the single substance, identified with God or nature, the degrees of knowledge, the origin of the affects and the path towards freedom and the virtuous life guided by reason.
This 1984 edition, in Spanish, belongs to the 'Historia del pensamiento' collection (no. 11) and includes introduction, translation and notes by Vidal Peña.
Reference work for philosophy students and readers interested in 17th-century rationalism and the history of ethics.
John Milton was an English poet, polemicist, and civil servant. His 1667 epic poem Paradise Lost was written in blank verse and included 12 books, written in a time of immense religious flux and political upheaval. It addressed the fall of man, including the temptation of Adam and Eve by the fallen angel Satan, and God's expulsion of them from the Garden of Eden. Paradise Lost elevated Milton's reputation as one of history's greatest poets. He also served as a civil servant for the Commonwealth of England under its Council of State and later under Oliver Cromwell.
