Ethica, work without obstacle

Ethica, work without obstacle, is a free internet application for internet and smartphones (http://app.ethica-spinoza.net/en/text) which proposes a digital and augmented edition of the Ethics by Spinoza (1632-1677).

Thanks to an unprecedented visualization of the text, Ethica makes visible the demonstrative network of the work. The user can see and read freely the text, explore it in a innovative and intuitive way.

Ethica proposes, for its first version, the Ethics in Latin (edition by Carl Gebhardt), translations in French (Charles Appuhn), in English (R. H. M. Elwes) and a translation in progress in Portuguese (Brazilian) of Roberto Brandão. 

A version 2 of the application is in standby with more tools and graphic, and commentaries videos of Ethics by 100 philosophers around the world.
