Description
Summary:Deleuze's philosophical commentary on Spinoza is a critically important work because its conclusions provide the foundations for Deleuze's later metaphysical speculations on the nature of power, the body, difference and singularities. Deleuze and Spinoza is the first book to examine Deleuze's philosophical assessment of Spinoza and appraise his arguments concerning the Absolute, the philosophy of mind, epistemology and moral and political philosophy. The author respects and disagrees with Deleuze the philosopher and suggests that his arguments not only lead to eliminativism and a Hobbesian politics, but also they cast a mystifying spell. Opposed to feminist philosophers who find Deleuze's theories practical for the third wave feminism, Gillian Howie proposes that a turning to Marxism and critical theory would be an answer.
