Dear Lestrade I think you re point is really fundamental for a better understanding of the Ethics and you have just pulled a card I did not know you had and which I don t have You know Latin Wow I still owed you a thorough study of the passages in English as we discussed above and I haven t finished my work on that yet But now it is going to take me even longer since I am going to download the Latin text as you indicate and my final response will only come to you here once I have finished restudying the whole issue IN LATIN I just wrote below today that the studying of Spinoza s Ethics in Latin is not something I believe I ll be able to accomplish in this incarnation But who knows maybe with your guidance and help I will be able to make good progress on this task in the years to come Thank you very much again for sharing your knowledge with me here talk
