Over the last few decades, Spinoza scholarship has
developed in the United States, providing new perspectives on the work of this
major philosopher. Spinoza in 21st-Century American and French Philosophy
unites for the first time French and American scholars in conversation with
each other and illustrates the fecundity of bringing together analytic and
Continental scholarly traditions.
Spinoza in
21st-Century American and French Philosophy gives readers a unique opportunity to discover the most consequential
and sophisticated aspects of American and French Spinoza research today.
Featuring chapters by American scholars with French experts responding to
these, the book is structured according to the themes of Spinoza's philosophy,
including metaphysics, philosophy of mind, moral philosophy and political
philosophy. The contributions consider the full range of his work, with
chapters addressing the Ethics, his ideas on individuals and community, and the
nature of embodiment, among other topics.
Justin
Steinberg, Spinoza's Political
Psychology. The Taming of Fortune and Fear. Cambridge University Press, nov. 2018 [$ 105.00; zie ook Amazon]
Spinoza's Political Psychology advances a novel,
comprehensive interpretation of Spinoza's political writings, exploring how his
analysis of psychology informs his arguments for democracy and toleration.
Justin Steinberg shows how Spinoza's political method resembles the Renaissance
civic humanism in its view of governance as an adaptive craft that requires
psychological attunement. He examines the ways that Spinoza deploys this
realist method in the service of empowerment, suggesting that the state can
affectively reorient and thereby liberate its citizens, but only if it attends
to their actual motivational and epistemic capacities. His book will interest a
range of readers in Spinoza studies and the history of political thought, as
well as readers working in contemporary political theory.
