{"product_id":"spinozas-critique-of-religion-and-idit-dobbs-weinstein-9781107094918","title":"Spinoza's Critique of Religion and its Heirs","description":"Spinoza's heritage has been occluded by his incorporation into the single, western, philosophical canon formed and enforced by theologico-political condemnation, and his heritage is further occluded by controversies whose secular garb shields their religious origins. By situating Spinoza's thought in a materialist Aristotelian tradition, this book sheds new light on those who inherit Spinoza's thought and its consequences materially and historically rather than metaphysically. By focusing on Marx, Benjamin, and Adorno, Idit Dobbs-Weinstein explores the manner in which Spinoza's radical critique of religion shapes materialist critiques of the philosophy of history. Dobbs-Weinstein argues that two radically opposed notions of temporality and history are at stake for these thinkers, an onto-theological future-oriented one, and a political one oriented to the past for the sake of the present or, more precisely, for the sake of actively resisting the persistent barbarism at the heart of culture.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Idit Dobbs-Weinstein\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1107094917\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781107094918\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Cambridge University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 06\/17\/2015\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 290\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.05lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.60h x 5.80w x 0.90d","brand":"Idit Dobbs-Weinstein","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44138444652799,"sku":"9781107094918","price":120.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_e5af2ceb-e478-419d-a2d3-39de68ede44c.jpg?v=1687899697","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/spinozas-critique-of-religion-and-idit-dobbs-weinstein-9781107094918","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
