Political Monsters and Democratic Imagination explores the
democratic thought of Spinoza and its relation to the thought of
William Blake, Victor Hugo, and James Joyce. As a group, these
visionaries articulate: a concept of power founded not on strength
or might but on social cooperation; a principle of equality based
not on the identity of individuals with one another but on the
difference between any individual and the intellectual power of
society as a whole; an understanding of thought as a process that
operates between rather than within individuals; and a theory of
infinite truth, something individuals only partially glimpse from
their particular cultural situations. For Blake, God is the
constellation of individual human beings, whose collective
imagination produces revolutionary change. In Hugo's novel, Jean
Valjean learns that the greatest truth about humanity lies in the
sewer or among the lowest forms of social existence. For Joyce,
Leopold and Molly Bloom are everybody and nobody, singular beings
whose creative power and truth is beyond categories and social
hierarchies.
