This paper is based, to a large extent, on my previous paper, “A Formalization of Spinoza'sEthics, Part I” (1975), yet to appear.
A word should be said about Charles Jarrett's formalization of Part I, which appears inSynthese 37 (1978). Both our formalizations were developed independently, about the same time (1975). Indeed, our formalizations are radically different. The main difference is that whereas I use a minimum of modal logic, packing many modal notions into the predicates, Jarrett uses modal logic extensively, with two different modal operators for necessity, each with their own set of axioms. Thus, our formalizations offer an interesting contrast. I sincerely hope both will contribute tofuture Spinoza research.
