Overview: 10 engaging and original essays argue that Spinoza is the interdisciplinary thinker for our times
This book brings Spinoza outside the realm of academic philosophy, and presents him as a thinker who is relevant to contemporary problems and questions across a variety of disciplines.
Discover how Spinoza’s theory of bodies transforms our understanding of music, and how it grounds ‘collective subjectivity’ in contemporary politics. Learn how Spinoza’s idea of freedom was instrumental to the Haitian revolution of 1791, and how it inspired Samuel Taylor Coleridge’s prose and George Eliot’s novels. Find out how early modern physics, contemporary architecture, and ecological activism can be rethought through Spinoza’s theory of affectivity.
