Prof. Kieran Setiya (Pittsburgh) has a thing or two to say in defense of Hume as portrayed in Rousseau's Dog: Two Great Thinkers at War in the Age of Enlightenment, a book by the same authors who in 2002 gave us a rather entertaining Wittgenstein's Poker: The Story of a Ten-Minute Argument Between Two Great Philosophers. Also, Prof. Brandon Watson has a reply.
Spinoza: A Guide for the Perplexed by Prof. Charles Jarrett (Rutgers), published about ten days ago as part of the Guides for the Perplexed series.
The first one, by Prof. Jonathan Israel (Modern European History, IAS) and Prof. Michael Silverthorne (Classics, Exeter), came out few months ago in May as part of the Cambridge Texts in the History of Philosophy while another one is being done by Prof. Jonathan Bennett according to his Early Modern Texts site.
I have added a section called "Secondary Sources Online" on the left column, and it consists of full text of books related to Spinoza from mid 19th to early 20th century that are available directly through Google Book Search. I am hoping that Google is not the only place to find them and that many more can be added in the future so that the list will include works from a much broader time period. If anyone knows about any full work related to Spinoza that are available online like this, please feel free to let me know. Thanks.
