Offers a powerful and influential interpretation of Spinoza's conatus Provides a thorough overview of political theories, clarifying different philosophical traditions that are often obscured under the generic label of modernity Develops an original analysis of Spinoza's philosophy, based on the concept of conatus, which has been largely neglected in Anglo-Saxon scholarship Broadens access to the wealth of un-translated literature on Spinoza Spinozism must be understood as a dynamic ontology that necessarily unfolds on practical terrain. Laurent Bove analyses Spinoza's theory of affects as rooted in Habit, generating the constituent power of human beings, commonwealths, nations and multitudes. By interpreting sovereignty as a power that emerges through the active resistance of the always singular body of the multitude, Bove discovers in Spinoza a radically new approach to the State, to citizenship and to history.
Caute . L'imperatif que Spinoza inscrit sur son sceau n'est pas un simple conseil de prudence. C'est l'exigence immanente et vitale a laquelle chacun est tenu par son droit naturel. La these d'une nature strategique des conatus conduit a lire - dans le spinozisme - une ontologie dynamique de la decision des problemes. Sur cette voie, la theorie des affects est revisitee a partir de l'Habitude, puissance constitutive de l'existence actuelle des hommes aussi bien que des nations. L'auteur montre que c'est sur le terrain de l'analyse politique que s'est elaboree l'idee d'une strategie du conatus. Mais c'est en concevant la souverainete a partir de la resistance-active du corps toujours singulier de la multitude, que Spinoza propose, au coeur de l'age classique, une approche radicalement nouvelle de l'Etat, de la citoyennete et de l'histoire.
