Abbreviations
References to Spinoza’s Ethics are based on Spinoza 1996. However, I have generally retranslated from Spinoza’s Latin text, the standard edition of which may be found in Spinoza 1925. I have adopted the following abbreviation scheme: ‘p’ indicates a proposition, ‘c’ indicates a corollary, ‘d’ indicates definition, ‘s’ indicates a scholium, and ‘def aff’ indicates the definitions of the affects to be found at the end of Part Three. For example, E3p59s refers to Ethics, Part three, Proposition 59, scholium.
References to Spinoza’s Tractatus Politicus (TP) are based on Spinoza 2001. However, I have frequently retranslated passages from Spinoza’s Latin text, the standard edition of which may be found in Spinoza 2005.

References to Spinoza’s Tractatus Theologico-Politicus (TTP) are based on Spinoza 2007.
