English 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).URL: http://Google Books
