A trenchant analysis of Spinoza´s major treatises within the context of his contemporary political, religious, and ideological life. With Hobbes and Locke, Spinoza is arguably one of the most important political philosophers of the modern era, a premier theoretician of democracy and mass politics. In this revised and augmented English translation of his 1985 classic, "Spinoza et la Politique," Etienne Balibar presents a synoptic account of Spinoza´s major works, admirably demonstrating relevance to his contemporary political life. Balibar carefully situates Spinoza´s major treatises in the period in which they were written. In successive chapters, he examines the political situation in the United Provinces during Spinoza´s lifetime, Spinoza´s own religious and ideological associations, the concept of democracy developed in the "Theologico-Political Treatise," the theory of the state advanced in the "Political Treatise" and the anthropological basis for politics established in the "Ethics," "Verso´s beautifully designed "Radical Thinkers" series, which brings together seminal works by leading left-wing intellectuals, is a sophisticated blend of theory and thought. The authors whose writings are included in the series have worked tirelessly to expose the mechanisms by which culture and knowledge are manufactured, managed and controlled."--Ziauddin Sardar, "New Statesman".
