Spinoza is rare amongst philosophers in how we was such a lovable weirdo. Strahern paints the picture of a deeply principled but unintentionally comic man who had to be twice locked in his room to prevent suicidal protest in the streets.
I wish Strathern's concise surveys of philosophers and their context replaced a lot of readers in undergrad courses.
