Description

Recent

work in political philosophy and the history of ideas presents Spinoza and

Hegel as the most powerful living alternatives to mainstream Enlightenment

thought. Yet, for many philosophers and political theorists today, one must

choose between Hegel or Spinoza. As Deleuze's influential interpretation

maintains, Hegel exemplifies and promotes the modern "cults of death," while

Spinoza embodies an irrepressible "appetite for living." Hegel is the figure of

negation, while Spinoza is the thinker of "pure affirmation". Yet, between

Hegel and Spinoza there is not only opposition. This collection of essays seeks

to find the suppressed kinship between Hegel and Spinoza. Both philosophers

offer vigorous and profound alternatives to the methodological individualism of

classical liberalism. Likewise, they sketch portraits of reason that are

context-responsive and emotionally contoured, offering an especially rich appreciation

of our embodied and historical existence. The authors of this collection

carefully lay the groundwork for a complex and delicate alliance between these

two great iconoclasts, both within and against the Enlightenment tradition.
