How can Spinoza shed any light on contemporary thought?In this intriguing book, Moira Gatens and Genevieve Lloyd show us that in spite of or rather because of Spinoza's apparent strangeness, his philosophy can be a rich resource for cultural self-understanding in the present.Collective Imaginings draws on recent re-assessments of the philosophy of Spinoza to develop new ways of conceptualising issues of freedom and difference. This ground-breaking study will be invaluable reading to anyone 606 $aImagination (Philosophy) 606 $aResponsibility 615 0$aImagination (Philosophy) 615 0$aResponsibility. 676 $a199/.492 700 $aGatens$b Moira$00 701 $aLloyd$b Genevieve$0694123 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910818726203321 996 $aCollective imaginings$93976727 997 $aUNINA
