Loise Ma's book is an attempt to illustrate the major tenets outlined in Spinoza's Ethics with a series of diagrams. Printed on eggshell-blue paper with white text and white stars forming constallations and patterns that illustrate the philosopher's ideas, the effect is a beautifully delicate whisper of a book that draws on the scholarship of Gilles Deleuze, Jorge Luis Borges, and Dr. Kelly Ross. With a fold-out insert printed with excerpts from The Ethics as well as from Spinoza's Treatise On the Improvement of the Understanding.
