Description
Book SynopsisWithout Spinoza, German Idealism would have been as impossible as it would have been without Kant. This volume traces the reception history of Spinoza's philosophy and initiates a genuine philosophical dialogue between his ideas and those of German Idealists. For scholars of early modern philosophy and history of philosophy.
Trade Review'The breadth of ideas covered in this volume alone make it worthy of attention, and given that they have been so seldom studied in connection with German Idealism, this is an important reference text for scholars in the field … this is a valuable addition to the literature, especially given its focus on an understudied topic.' Henry Southgate, Journal of the History of Philosophy
