Reconceiving Spinoza by Samuel Newlands (PDF)

Description

Samuel Newlands provides a sweeping new account of Spinoza’s metaphysical system and the way it shapes and is shaped by his moral project. Newlands also shows how Spinoza can be read fruitfully alongside recent developments in contemporary analytic philosophy. According to Newlands, conceptual relations form the backbone of Spinoza’s explanatory project and enable him to do everything from reconciling monism and diversity to motivating altruism within egoism. Spinoza’s conceptualism culminates in his call to a radical form of self-transcendence. Readers will be invited to reconceive not only Spinoza’s project, but also the world and perhaps even themselves along the way.

Editorial Reviews: Review “This ambitious and stimulating book will be much discussed by Spinoza scholars, many of whom will dispute its claims. Nevertheless, this is what original scholarship in the history of philosophy is supposed to do: get us to rethink our assumptions about the philosophers we study. There is a lot in Newlands book I do not agree with, but I am very glad I read it.” — Steven Nadler, Journal of the History of Philosophy”The extensive bibliography demonstrates Newlands’s rootedness in both contemporary metaphysics and Spinoza studies.
