Abstract
The flyer-series develops an experimental companionship with Spinoza's Ethics, under the conditions of the Corona pandemia (Spring 2020). On this backdrop a 'plateau-assemblage' of learning-outcomes and reflections on multi-video conference is developed. And also a list of questions preparing a forthcoming situated and positioned reading of Spinoza's Ethics (Ethica,1677).
