INTROUDUCTION:
During the second semester 2015, we will continue our in-depth study of fundamental texts according to the method introduced earlier: We present contemporary philosophy across a reading of a classic text that is a point of reference in contemporary literature. After Hegel, Adorno, Antigone, now it is time to focus on Benedictus de (Baruch) Spinoza (1632 – 1677). His philosophy has been pivotal to a number of divergent philosophical traditions in the Post-War period (1950s and onwards), both in Europe and in North America. Our reading of Spinoza’s Ethics will be futher illustrated the main tenants of contemporary philosophers such as Gilles Deleuze, Louis Althusser and Antonio Negri. We are going to contrast Spinoza’s thought with Hegel, Marx and introduce contemporary discussions around The Spinozean legacy in theoretical as well as political philosophy.
