Spinoza's Ethics 2.0 is a web-based repository of the text of several versions of Spinoza's magnum opus, but more importantly, this site provides a representation of the structure of the geometrical demonstrations of Spinoza's Ethics.

Digital Spinozism is an expansion of Spinoza's Ethics 2.0. The aim of this project is to digitize Spinoza's entire corpus (perhaps with some exceptions).

Will Kymlicka is the Canada Research Chair in Political Philosophy in the Philosophy Department at Queen's University in Kingston, Canada, where he has taught since 1998. His research interests focus on issues of democracy and diversity, and in particular on models of citizenship and social justice within multicultural societies. He has published eight books and over 200 articles, which have been translated into 34 languages, and has received several awards, most recently, Honorary Doctorates from the University of Copenhagen in 2013 and KU Leuven in 2014, and the 2019 Gold Medal from the Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council of Canada.

I am co-founder of the society. The Spinoza Society of Canada is primarily focused on bringing together and promoting researchers, scholarship, and resources within Canada. Anyone may join and make use of the society's resources, which will be shared on the website, and through various social media avenues. Our hope is that this society will be useful to scholars and students, and will also spread greater awareness and understanding of Spinoza's work in Canada and abroad. We are currently on a bit of a hiatus while we work out the future of the society.
