[PREFACE]
(Prf:1) At length I pass to the remaining portion of my Ethics, which
is concerned with the way leading to freedom. (2) I shall therefore
treat therein of the power of the reason, showing how far the reason
can control the emotions, and what is the nature of Mental Freedom or
Blessedness; we shall then be able to see, how much more powerful the
wise man is than the ignorant. (3) It is no part of my design to point
out the method and means whereby the understanding may be perfected, nor
to show the skill whereby the body may be so tended, as to be capable
of the due performance of its functions. (4) The latter question lies
in the province of Medicine, the former in the province of Logic.
(Prf:5) Here, therefore, I repeat, I shall treat only of the power
of the mind, or of reason; and I shall mainly show the extent and nature
of its dominion over the emotions, for their control and moderation.
(Prf:6) That we do not possess absolute dominion over them, I have already
shown.
