Description:
This audiobook is narrated by a digital voice. After experience had taught me that all the usual surroundings of social life are vain and futile; seeing that none of the objects of my fears contained in themselves anything either good or bad, except in so far as the mind is affected by them, I finally resolved to inquire whether there might be some real good having power to communicate itself, which would affect the mind singly, to the exclusion of all else: whether, in fact, there might be anything of which the discovery and attainment would enable me to enjoy continuous, supreme, and unending happiness. Duration - 1h 22m. Author - Benedict de Spinoza. Narrator - Digital Voice Martin G. Published Date - Friday, 09 January 2026. Copyright - © 2014 Start Publishing LLC ©.
