Examines the close and circular connection between metaphysics,
ethics and politics in Spinoza's thought Shows the entire system of
Spinoza's philosophy to revolve around an ethical political
challenge, dictated by historical circumstances Offers a different
perspective from recent philosophical-political interpretations of
Spinoza Provides the first systematic study of the metaphysic roots
behind Spinoza's strongest political statements Weaves in
comparisons and references to Machiavelli, Descartes, Hobbes,
Locke, Vico and Hegel, and to many contemporary interpretations of
Spinoza's thought Riccardo Caporali examines of all of Spinoza's
works while addressing the challenges imposed by the historical
circumstances at the time. As a result, Spinoza's work and its
author the philosopher and the man go hand in hand. Focusing on
Spinoza's constant preoccupation with the relationship between
metaphysics and politics, Caporali shows that it takes different
forms in his various major works. He highlights specific moments of
this discontinuity, particularly in the transition between the
Tractatus Theologico-Politicus and the Tractatus Politicus.
