The controversial influence of Spinoza on Freud is discussed, illustrated by facsimile reproductions of original letters.

First published in 1928, this text presents a pageant of the leading types of seventeenth-century mentality. It affords contemporary glimpses of important scientific researches and discoveries and includes letters containing things of first-rate importance for the philosophy of Spinoza.
