Publication regarding the Hague years of philosopher Baruch de Spinoza (Amsterdam, 1632). After having resided at Rijswijk and Voorburg Spinoza ultimately chose to live in The Hague as the city already had many international contacts. From there he maintained contact with a broad network of scientists all over the world. In The Hague he found the quietness to work on his lifework, the Ethica, while earning his living as lens grinder.
