Abstract
The first half of my thesis consists of my attempt first to disentangle Spinoza’s philosophy from the cumbersome geometrical organization, and then to represent it in the more traditional essay format. In this part I have tried to give a concise yet unified picture of Spinoza’s moral philosophy. For the second part of my thesis I wrote a series of speeches and dialogues, starring Zanibopsen, which put Spinoza’s views on God, Mind, Good, peace, etc. in conversation with alternative philosophical viewpoints.
