Offers a detailed analysis of time, duration, and eternity from the
early Spinoza to its eventual shape in the Ethics and
Theologico-Political Treatise Constitutes the first book-length
study by one of the world's leading Spinoza scholars Offers a
systematic reading of key Spinozist concepts concerning time and
eternity Reads the concepts of time and duration positively and
affirmatively in their relation to God and eternity Closely tracks
the emergence and movement of these concepts throughout Spinoza's
work First published in 1997, and subsequently revised and reissued
in 2015, Chantal Jaquet's Sub specie aeternitatis: tude des
concepts de temps, dur e et ternit chez Spinoza is the book-version
of Jaquet's doctoral thesis, and the first of her now five
book-length publications on Spinoza. With Spinoza, Jaquet asks how
it is possible for human beings, as finite modes of existence, to
share in God's eternity, as well as how human existence relates to
the eternity of God, or Nature. This translation will allow English
readers to closely track the concepts of time, duration, and
eternity from the early Spinoza through to the last of his works.
It will also situate his thought in relation to the scholastic
philosophies that preceded him, all with close attention to the
Latin throughout.
One is not born a worker or a boss, one becomes one from father to
son... or almost. Social reproduction is not an iron law; it admits
of exceptions that must be accounted for in order to measure its
scope. This book aims to understand the passage from one social
class to another and to forge a method of approaching these
particular cases which remain a blind spot in the theory of social
reproduction. It analyzes the political, economic, social, familial
and singular causes that contribute to non-reproduction, and their
effects on the constitution of individuals transiting from one
class to another. At the crossroads of collective history and
intimate history, Chantal Jaquet identifies class locations, the
interplay of affects and encounters, and the role of sexual and
racial differences. She invites us to break out of disciplinary
isolation in order to grasp singularity at the crossroads of
philosophy, sociology, psychology and literature. This requires
deconstruction of the concepts of social and personal identity, in
favour of a concepts like complexion and the criss-crossing
determinations. Through the figure of the transclass, it is thus
the whole human condition that is illuminated in a new light.
It is widely recognised that Spinoza ended the Cartesian dualism of
body and mind by thinking through the possibility of their unity.
Revisiting this generally accepted notion of psycho-physical
parallelism in Spinoza, Chantal Jaquet offers a new analysis of the
relation between body and mind. Looking at a range of Spinoza's
texts, and using an original methodology, she analyses their unity
in action through the affects that bring together a body's
affection and the idea of this affection. Jaquet reveals that
understanding affects, actions and passions provides the key to how
the mind and body are the same individual expressed in two
different ways. She presents the Spinozist model in all its
complexity, illuminating its potentialities for contemporary
debates on the nature of the mind-body problem.
