Well... if you want summary of his ideas on human freedom...
iep.utm.edu/spinoza-free...

"While Spinoza denies that the will is free, he does consider human freedom (libertas humana) as possible. Given the caveat just described, this freedom must be understood as limited. For Spinoza, freedom is the end of human striving. He often equates freedom with virtue, happiness, and blessedness (beatitudo), the more familiar end of human activity (for an overview, see Youpa 2010). Spinoza does not understand freedom as a capacity for choice, that is, as liberum arbitrium (free choice), but rather as consisting in acting as opposed to being acted upon. For Spinoza, freedom is ultimately constituted by activity. In Part I of the Ethics, Spinoza defines, “that thing is called free which exists from the necessity of its nature alone, and is determined to act by itself alone. But a thing is called necessary, or rather compelled, which is determined by another thing to exist and produce an effect in a certain and determinant manner” (ID7). According to this definition, only God, properly speaking, is absolutely free, because only God exists from the necessity of his nature and is determined to act from his nature alone (IP17 and IP17C2). Nevertheless, Spinoza argues that freedom is possible for human beings insofar as they act: “I say we act when something happens, in us or outside of us, of which we are the adequate cause, that is, (by D1), when something in us or outside of us follows from our nature, which can be clearly and distinctly understood through it alone” (IIID2). IIID1 gives the definition of adequate cause: “I call that cause adequate whose effect can be clearly and distinctly perceived through it.” From these definitions, we can see that if human freedom is constituted by activity, then freedom will be constituted by having clear and distinct ideas or adequate knowledge."

"Above, it was seen that for Spinoza, will and intellect are one and the same. The will is nothing but singular volitions, which are ideas. These ideas already involve affirmation and negation (commonly ascribed to the faculty of will). In Part II, when arguing against the Cartesian view of the will, Spinoza emphasizes the will as a supposed “faculty of affirming and denying” in order to dispel the universal notion of a free will. In Part III, in his discussion of affects, he provides a fuller description of the will and the affective nature of ideas, providing the tools for his discussion of human freedom. By “affect,” Spinoza understands “the affections of the body by which the body’s power of acting is increased or diminished, aided and restrained, and at the same time, the ideas of these affections” (IIID3). Accordingly, he concludes that “if we can be the adequate cause of any of these affections, I understand by the affect an action; otherwise, a passion.” There is thus a close connection between activity and adequate ideas, as well as between passions and inadequate ideas (IIIP3)."
