Le pouvoir exécutif Baruch Spinoza Spinoza élabore une éthique de la joie. Le but de la vie, selon lui, n'est pas d'être malheureux (comme y invite le christianisme : il faut se repentir, souffrir pour expier la faute originelle, etc.) mais d'être heureux.

A curious and most puzzling question might be started concerning page 329 this visual matter as touching the Leviathan. page 330 right.
