Spinoza's heritage has been occluded by his incorporation into the
single, western, philosophical canon formed and enforced by
theologico-political condemnation, and his heritage is further
occluded by controversies whose secular garb shields their
religious origins. By situating Spinoza's thought in a materialist
Aristotelian tradition, this book sheds new light on those who
inherit Spinoza's thought and its consequences materially and
historically rather than metaphysically. By focusing on Marx,
Benjamin, and Adorno, Idit Dobbs-Weinstein explores the manner in
which Spinoza's radical critique of religion shapes materialist
critiques of the philosophy of history. Dobbs-Weinstein argues that
two radically opposed notions of temporality and history are at
stake for these thinkers, an onto-theological future-oriented one
and a political one oriented to the past for the sake of the
present or, more precisely, for the sake of actively resisting the
persistent barbarism at the heart of culture.
