| | Baruch Spinoza (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-25) |
 | | By the time his extant correspondence begins, in 1661, he is living in Rijnsburg, not far from Leiden. |
 | | While in Rijnsburg, he worked on the Treatise on the Emendation of the Intellect, an essay on philosophical method, and the Short Treatise on God, Man and His Well-Being, an initial but aborted effort to lay out his metaphysical, epistemological and moral views. |
 | | His critical exposition of Descartes's Principles of Philosophy, the only work he published under his own name in his lifetime, was completed in 1663, after he had moved to Voorburg, outside The Hague. |
