English commentary: Spinoza "argues that human beings are made morally responsible in and through society, without any need for free will ... By situating Soinoza's view on moral responsability within his social philosphy, I can argue for a Spinozistic theory of moral responsibility that is divorced from the metaphysics of free will." (p. 22)
