Curley, trans, A Spinoza Reader: The Ethics and Other Works (Princeton, 1994); S. A Spinoza Reader (edited and translated by Edwin Curley). I am generally fascinated by this aspect of the work, and would, on a second reading, pay close attention to it. In other words, we seem to agree on vague and general goals, Conatus: in Levi's (and Spinoza's) formulation of the concept, I don't see its use in terms of a flat ethics or in terms of an ethics that minimizes the centrality of humans; i.e., a weakly anthropocentric ethics. I read Spinoza's Ethics largely because I had heard so much about how a certain kind of Theory was deeply indebted to him, or claimed to be.
