It is the first book-length study dedicated to the re-reading of Spinoza's ethical and theologico-political works from a feminist perspective. The twelve outstanding chapters range over the entire field of Spinoza's writings--metaphysical, political, theological, ethical, and psychological--drawing out the ways in which his philosophy presents a rich resource for the reconceptualization of friendship, sexuality, politics, and ethics in contemporary life.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe clear and accessible Introduction offers a historical sketch of Spinoza's life and intellectual context and indicates how Spinoza's philosophy might be seen as a rich cultural resource today. Topics treated here include the mind-body problem and its relation to the sex-gender distinction; relational autonomy; the nature of love and friendship; sexuality and normative morality; free will and determinism and their relation to Christian theology; imagination and recognition between the sexes; emotion and the body; and power, imagination, and political sovereignty. The essays engage in a rich and challenging conversation that opens new paths for feminist research.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eContributors, besides the editor, are Aurelia Armstrong, Sarah Donovan, Paola Grassi, Luce Irigaray, Susan James, Genevieve Lloyd, Alexandre Matheron, Heidi Ravven, Amelie Rorty, and David West.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Moira Gatens\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0271035153\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780271035154\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Penn State University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 05\/14\/2009\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 256\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.01lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.20h x 6.20w x 0.80d","brand":"Moira Gatens","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48086454763775,"sku":"9780271035154","price":88.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_d0bb244c-d451-4237-9a61-651f370540a7.jpg?v=1769094772","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/feminist-interpretations-of-benedict-spinoza-moira-gatens-9780271035154","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
