In recovering Spinoza's relevance to contemporary political phenomena, Cernadas explains why this early modern thinker has found renewed importance three hundred and fifty years after his death, and ultimately how he could even prompt us to reassess democracy as the best form of government.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Gonzalo Ricci Cernadas\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1350437697\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781350437692\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Bloomsbury Academic\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 12\/26\/2024\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 200\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.01lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.21h x 6.14w x 0.50d","brand":"Gonzalo Ricci Cernadas","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":46739137396991,"sku":"9781350437692","price":115.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_378fc2c8-4742-4e62-a219-4bd4abbc3b1b.jpg?v=1743277326","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-multitude-in-spinoza-gonzalo-ricci-cernadas-9781350437692","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
