Abstract

Like many readers, I first learned to interpret Spinoza as a radically modern thinker. Influenced by Deleuze and Negri, I saw Spinoza rejecting Platonic transcendence, Aristotelian teleology, and Judeo-Christian moral values for a metaphysics of immanent power that underpins a relativistic ethics and an anti-authoritarian politics.
