Spinoza, un auteur difficile ? Il est aussi considéré comme un maître de sagesse dont la philosophie prend la figure d'un art de vivre permettant l'apprentissage du bonheur et de la liberté. C'est tout l'enjeu d'une pensée qui propose à ses lecteurs de se placer sous la conduite de la raison, de considérer les hommes tels qu'ils sont et non tels qu'on les voudrait. Un programme exigeant mais salutaire grâce auquel on peut dire qu'il y a, dans l'histoire de la pensée, un avant et un après Spinoza. Cette nouvelle anthologie permet d'éclairer l'ensemble de la philosophie de Spinoza. Une porte d'entrée dans une oeuvre complexe enfin mise à la portée de tous, organisée en six axes : l'idée de souverain bien, une théorie de la connaissance ; des règles pour l'action ; la connaissance de Dieu ; l'interprétation de l'Ecriture ; la liberté.
This volume attempts to trace the philosophical development of one of the greatest philosophers of all times. It is the first attempt of its kind in English and its timely appearance coincides with the recent increase of interest in Spinoza's philosophy in Anglo-American philosophy.
Cet ouvrage participe du vaste mouvement de redécouverte de la pensée d’Aristote et de son influence pérenne. Il apporte pour la première fois la preuve que Spinoza avait une connaissance directe des Œuvres complètes d’Aristote et, à la lumière de cette découverte, il confronte systématiquement et directement les deux systèmes pour évaluer dans chaque domaine (éthique et politique, théorie de la connaissance, métaphysique) ce que Spinoza doit à l’aristotélisme.
This book provides a systematic examination of the relations between the key elements of Spinoza's philosophy and the Stoics.
This book interrogates the ontology of mathematical entities in Spinoza as a basis for addressing a wide range of interpretive issues in Spinoza’s epistemology—from his antiskepticism and philosophy of science to the nature and scope of reason and intuitive knowledge and the intellectual love of God. Going against recent trends in Spinoza scholarship, and drawing on various sources, including Spinoza’s engagements with optical theory and physics, Matthew Homan argues for a realist interpretation of geometrical figures in Spinoza; illustrates their role in a Spinozan hypothetico-deductive scientific method; and develops Spinoza’s mathematical examples to better illuminate the three kinds of knowledge. The result is a portrait of Spinoza’s epistemology as sanguine and distinctive yet at home in the new Cartesian and Galilean scientific-philosophical paradigm.
Can philosophy be a source of hope? Today it is common to believe that the answer is no – that providing hope, if it is possible at all, belongs either to the predictive sciences or to religion. In this exciting and stimulating book, however, Alexander Douglas argues that the philosophy of Spinoza can offer something akin to religious hope. Douglas shows how Spinoza is able, without appealing to belief in any traditional afterlife or supernatural grace, to develop a profound and original theory of how humans can escape from the conditions of death and sin. Douglas argues that this theory of escape, which Spinoza calls beatitude, is the centrepiece of his entire philosophy, though scholars ...

In his renowned collection Philosophy as a Way of Life, Pierre Hadot suggests that the original aspect of philosophy as a method by which one exercises oneself to achieve a new way of living and seeing the world fails with the rise of modernity. In that period, philosophy becomes increasingly theoretical, tending toward a system. However, Hadot himself glimpses at the dawn of modernity some instances of the original aspect of philosophy still very much present, and in his wake, Michel Foucault warns that between the late 16th and early 17th centuries the philosophical question of the reform of the mind attests to a still very close link between asceticism and access to truth. This book aims ...
