There have been many Spinozas over the centuries: atheist, romantic
pantheist, great thinker of the multitude, advocate of the
liberated individual, and rigorous rationalist. The common thread
connecting all of these clashing perspectives is Spinoza's
naturalism, the idea that humanity is part of nature, not above it.
In this sophisticated new interpretation of Spinoza's iconoclastic
philosophy, Hasana Sharp draws on his uncompromising naturalism to
rethink human agency, ethics, and political practice. Sharp uses
Spinoza to outline a practical wisdom of "renaturalization,"
showing how ideas, actions, and institutions are never merely
products of human intention or design, but outcomes of the complex
relationships among natural forces beyond our control. This lack of
a metaphysical or moral division between humanity and the rest of
nature, Sharp contends, can provide the basis for an ethical and
political practice free from the tendency to view ourselves as
either gods or beasts. Sharp's groundbreaking argument critically
engages with important contemporary thinkers-including deep
ecologists, feminists, and race and critical theorists-making
Spinoza and the Politics of Renaturalization vital for a wide range
of scholars.
