English commentary: "I argue alongside some other scholars that there is a plausible reading of Spinoza's philosophy of suicide which holds both of the following tenets: first, that suicides accur because of external conditions, and second, that there are at least some suicides which are rational. These two tenets require special attention because they seem to be the source of significant tension."
