He worked out an entirely new system of moral philosophy that can help resolve the meta-ethical dilemma between absolutism and relativism, showing how moral values evolve naturally within society. Despite denying the traditional God-like power of free will Spinoza developed a robust concept of freedom, one that is distinctly human and viable today.
