The translation is pretty good, except for certain small deviations from the text... Mainly the problems are these:

- the translator added paragraphs to the lay out at points where the latin version does not contain this lay out. this is confusing sometimes, because it seems like Spinoza is clustering things together, whereas this might just be the choice of the translator
- be careful that sometimes one latin term is translated in many different English words... Self-love and satisfaction in Part V is such an example, if I am not mistaken.
