Description

Presents Spinoza’s contribution to understandings of the imagination, art and creativity Highlights Spinoza's insights into the value and nature of artistic practice and thought Reconfigures the relation between Spinoza’s thinking and the role of the affects Analyses Spinoza’s influence on and by literary history, including his precursors Emphasises the role of disposition in Spinoza’s philosophy as key to creating and understanding literature Examines the importance of the exemplar and the logic of affect to literary thinking Against the mainstream view, Gatens and Uhlmann argue that Spinoza’s philosophy can significantly contribute to understandings of art, creativity and the central place of the imagination in human wellbeing. This perspective shows how concepts essential to Spinoza’s philosophy, such as ingenium, the exemplar and the theory of the affects illuminate how works of art and literature make essential contributions to human thriving. They consider case studies of major English authors who were negatively or positively influenced by Spinoza, including Daniel Defoe, Jonathan Swift, Percy and Mary Shelley, George Eliot and Virginia Woolf.
