Description

By radically re-reading the 'Theological Political Treatise', Dimitris Vardoulakis argues that Spinoza's Epicurean influence has profound implications for his conception of politics and ontology. This reconsideration of Spinoza's political project, set within a historical context, lays the ground for an alternative genealogy of materialism. From the Inside Flap Through a radical new reading of the Theological Political Treatise, Dimitris Vardoulakis argues that the Epicurean influence on Spinoza has profound implications for his conception of politics and ontology. This reconsideration of Spinozas political project, set within a historical context, lays the ground for an alternative genealogy of materialism.Vardoulakis shows that the major source of Spinozas materialism is the Epicurean tradition that re-emerges in modernity when manuscripts by Epicurus and Lucretius are rediscovered. Central to this new reading of Spinoza are the theory of practical judgment, understood as the calculation of utility, and its implications for a theory of democracy that is resolutely positioned against authority.A new image of Spinoza emerges highlighting his relevance in the history of philosophy and our world today.Dimitris Vardoulakis is Associate Professor in Philosophy at Western Sydney University.
