The Ethics was a philosophical work on ethics by Benedict de Spinoza, written in Latin and published in the Netherlands in 1677. Gary Mitchell considered this reading to be "longhair stuff" when James Kirk tried to interest him in it at Starfleet Academy. Infused with psionic energy at the galactic barrier in 2265, a mutated Mitchell viewed the work on a library-computer screen in sickbay and found it "simple – childish almost."

abstract
  • The Ethics was a philosophical work on ethics by Benedict de Spinoza, written in Latin and published in the Netherlands in 1677. Gary Mitchell considered this reading to be "longhair stuff" when James Kirk tried to interest him in it at Starfleet Academy. Infused with psionic energy at the galactic barrier in 2265, a mutated Mitchell viewed the work on a library-computer screen in sickbay and found it "simple – childish almost." Discussing Spinoza with Kirk, Mitchell had just been reading Part IV, the proof of Proposition XXXVII, which stated: "The good which every man, who follows after virtue, desires for himself he will also desire for other men, and so much the more, in proportion as he has a greater knowledge of God." (TOS: "Where No Man Has Gone Before" ) In 2366, The Ethics was listed as the general knowledge file 3069 on the library computer of USS Enterprise-D. The android Lal studied the book as part of her instruction into the nature of humanity. (TNG: "The Offspring" )
