Radical implications in Spinoza's philosophy,
By A Customer
This review is from: Bodies, Masses, Power: Spinoza and His Contemporaries (Paperback)
Montag not only handles complex philosophical issues clearly, he creates suspense that makes it hard to put this book down. The reader feels he is with the author uncovering subversive content in Spinoza's texts. While parallel treatment of Hobbes and Locke really helps to clarify Spinoza's views on the role of the masses in politics, it is also valuable for insight into the presuppositions of Locke's liberalism as well as Hobbe's conservatism. Happily not weighted down by lengthy footnotes or a cumbersome scholarly apparatus, this book is very accessible to general readers who have a penchant for philsophy or are interested in European intellectual history of the eighteenth century.
