Ethics V.42
V.42
Recorded
Spinoza, Ethica, Part V, Proposition 42
The last proposition of the Ethics: blessedness is not the reward of virtue, but virtue itself.
What it supports
A real closing number in a 1677 geometry of the mind. The Book keeps it as a neighbor, not a proof.
What it does not
Spinoza did not write 42 as a cosmic key. Proposition numbers are his apparatus.
