This volume brings together international scholars working at
the intersection of Spinoza studies and critical and feminist
philosophy. It is the first book-length study dedicated to the
re-reading of Spinoza's ethical and theologico-political works from
a feminist perspective. The twelve outstanding chapters range over
the entire field of Spinoza's writings--metaphysical, political,
theological, ethical, and psychological--drawing out the ways in
which his philosophy presents a rich resource for the
reconceptualization of friendship, sexuality, politics, and ethics
in contemporary life.
The clear and accessible Introduction offers a historical sketch
of Spinoza's life and intellectual context and indicates how
Spinoza's philosophy might be seen as a rich cultural resource
today. Topics treated here include the mind-body problem and its
relation to the sex-gender distinction; relational autonomy; the
nature of love and friendship; sexuality and normative morality;
free will and determinism and their relation to Christian theology;
imagination and recognition between the sexes; emotion and the
body; and power, imagination, and political sovereignty. The essays
engage in a rich and challenging conversation that opens new paths
for feminist research.
Contributors, besides the editor, are Aurelia Armstrong, Sarah
Donovan, Paola Grassi, Luce Irigaray, Susan James, Genevieve Lloyd,
Alexandre Matheron, Heidi Ravven, Amelie Rorty, and David West.
