Review door Wiep van Bunge van Melamed/Sharp's #Spinoza's Political Treatise: A Critical Guide


Laatste alinea
The editors of this volume fully deserve to be congratulated for having produced the first collection of essays in English on Spinoza's last work. The quality of the papers presented leaves little to be desired and the editing is flawless. Over the past few decades on the European continent, and in France and Italy in particular, the TP has inspired a considerable literature. Now that Anglophone experts are starting to recognize the of Spinoza's (sadly) unfinished treatise, there is every reason to look forward to a further proliferation of the particular effort to situate and grasp the TP not only in the context of Spinoza's other major works, but also against the background of the stormy political climate of his day and age, and among the wider history of early modern political thought.
