Spinoza rejects fundamental tenets of received morality, including the notions of Providence and free will. Yet he retains rich theories of the good, virtue, perection, and freedom. Building interconnected readings of Spinoza's accounts of imagination and desire, Michael LeBuffe defends a comprehensive interpretation of Spinoza's enlightened vision of human excellence.
