This work divides nature into the categories of natura naturans and natura naturata, phrases from its author's earlier Short Treatise on God, Man and His Well-Being. The preface to its final section discusses Descartes' thoughts on the pineal gland and its fourth section is entitled "Of Human Bondage, or the Power of the Affects." Each section begins with a set of definitions and axioms from which the propositions of that section arise. Using the phrase "God or Nature" to represent its author's pantheistic views, FTP, identify this philosophical work of five parts "presented in geometrical order," dictating right action and written by Baruch Spinoza.
