He offers a new critical study of the collectivist Spinoza, where we can become freer through desire, friendship, the imagination and transforming the social institutions that structure a given community. A freedom for one and all, attuned to the vicissitudes of human life and the capabilities of each one of us to live up to the demands and constraints of our limited autonomy. \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThis book develops and enriches the continental tradition of Spinozism, drawing on a range of untranslated materials and bringing a fresh perspective to key debates. It repositions Spinoza as the central thinker of desire and freedom and demonstrates how the conflicts within his work inform contemporary theoretical discussions around democracy, the multitude, populism and power.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Dan Taylor\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1474478409\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781474478403\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Edinburgh University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 12\/05\/2022\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 304\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.95lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.21h x 6.14w x 0.64d","brand":"Dan Taylor","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44077931266303,"sku":"9781474478403","price":27.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_76e23491-34ce-45db-9392-75999cfeabd7.jpg?v=1685472578","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/spinoza-and-the-politics-of-dan-taylor-9781474478403","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
