Spinoza'S Political Philosophy
Edinburgh University Press (Verlag)
978-1-4744-6760-5 (ISBN)
Examines the close and circular connection between metaphysics, ethics and politics in Spinoza's thought
Shows the entire system of Spinoza's philosophy to revolve around an ethical political challenge, dictated by historical circumstances
Offers a different perspective from recent philosophical-political interpretations of Spinoza
Provides the first systematic study of the metaphysic roots behind Spinoza's strongest political statements
Weaves in comparisons and references to Machiavelli, Descartes, Hobbes, Locke, Vico and Hegel, and to many contemporary interpretations of Spinoza's thought
Riccardo Caporali examines of all of Spinoza's works while addressing the challenges imposed by the historical circumstances at the time. As a result, Spinoza's work and its author the philosopher and the man go hand in hand.
Focusing on Spinoza's constant preoccupation with the relationship between metaphysics and politics, Caporali shows that it takes different forms in his various major works. He highlights specific moments of this discontinuity, particularly in the transition between the Tractatus Theologico-Politicus and the Tractatus Politicus.
