| German commentary |
"Spinoza's detractors have trouble making sense of his position precisely because ... Spinoza is a critic, rather than a champion, of pride. In this chapter, my project is less to refute the refutations than to treat them as barometers registering the subtlety of Spinoza's negotiation with religious ethics" (p. 72). |
