Produktbeschreibung

An unparalleled collection of original essays on Benedict de Spinoza's contributions to philosophy and his enduring legacy A Companion to Spinoza presents a panoramic view of contemporary Spinoza studies in Europe and across the Anglo-American world. Designed to stimulate fresh dialogue between the analytic and continental traditions in philosophy, this extraordinary volume brings together 53 original essays that explore Spinoza's contributions to Western philosophy and intellectual history. A diverse team of established and emerging international scholars discuss new themes and classic topics to provide a uniquely comprehensive picture of one of the most influential metaphysicians of all time. Rather than simply summarizing the body of existing scholarship, the Companion develops new ideas, examines cutting-edge scholarship, and suggests directions for future research. The text is structured around six thematically-organized sections, exploring Spinoza's life and background, his contributions to metaphysics and natural philosophy, his epistemology, politics, ethics, and aesthetics, the reception of Spinoza in the work of philosophers such as Kant, Schelling, Schopenhauer, and Hegel, and more. This unparalleled research collection combines a timely overview of the current state of research with deep coverage of Spinoza's philosophy, legacy, and influence. Part of the celebrated Blackwell Companions to Philosophy series, A Companion to Spinoza is an ideal text for advanced courses in modern philosophy, intellectual history, and the history of metaphysics, and an indispensable reference for researchers and scholars in Spinoza studies.

Rezensionen

"My general impression is that this is a very well thought out proposal, bringing together some of the finest established experts and some of the most promising younger scholars on the subject. I fully concur with Melamed's assessment of the recent interest among Anglophone philosophers in metaphysics being a major asset for a renewed focus on Spinoza in the US. I am also in agreement with Melamed's views on the possible market for a Blackwell Companion to Spinoza. In my experience students tend to prefer Companions, Guides, Readers, and what have you to your average edited volume, and they're right, of course. This particular Companion appears to cover nearly all the truly essential aspects of Spinoza's work, so should Blackwell be able to keep the volume affordable, I have no doubt it will sell really well. To tell you the truth I would be amazed to find out Blackwell would not accept this extremely convincing proposal: both the editor and the authors involved are ideally suited to produce this volume."

"Yitzhak Y. Melamed is one of the leading historians of philosophy of the new generation. His work on Spinoza is well known and highly respected. Notably, Melamed is doing ground-breaking work on Spinoza and German idealism, and on Spinoza and Jewish thought. These aspects of his work are visible as welcome, distinctive features of this book proposal. What he has already accomplished as an editor suggests that he will be excellent in overseeing this project and shepherding it to completion. There seems to be space in the market for another Companion / Handbook on Spinoza. I expect that several chapters included in the volume could become required reading in UG and PG courses. The volume as whole is likely to be a recommended text."

Maria Rosa Antognazza, King's College London

"The organization and coverage is excellent. My guess is that all academic libraries will want to have a copy of this book as will specialists and teachers of early modern philosophy. I can imagine teachers assigning a particular chapter or other if it were made available as an electronic resource (so that students could access a particular chapter without buying the whole work). I have no doubt that Yitzhak is the ideal person to edit this volume. He certainly has the ability and is well situated to bring this project to completion. He also has an impressive track record of shepherding editorial projects. If you could waive a magic wand and pick anyone to edit this volume, I'd recommend picking him."
