Abstract

Naturalism and Democracy , first published in German in 2014, presents a long-awaited commentary on Spinoza’s Political Treatise (Tractatus politicus) . Its contents reflect a recent intensification in the interest in Spinoza’s political philosophy in Germany. The volume addresses Spinoza’s political philosophy according to its place within his philosophical system as a whole, beginning with his theory of the natural genesis of law and state. Following from this are commentaries on the foundations of political philosophy, the relation of natural and state law, the theory of sovereignty, and theory of international relations. These chapters lay the basis for four essays interpreting Spinoza’s attempt to conceive of a systematic optimization of political and legal institutions for all three forms of governance (monarchy, aristocracy, democracy). The volume closes with an analysis of the current relevance of Spinoza’s political thinking and his influence on contemporary debates.

Abstract

Relégué pendant longtemps à l’arrière-plan, au profit de l’Éthique et du Traité théologico-politique, le Traité politique est aujourd’hui au cœur des études spinozistes. Son originalité tient en particulier à l’apparition de l’énigmatique concept de "multitude libre", qui se substitue à la théorie du contrat et sert aujourd’hui de référence centrale à un certain nombre de penseurs contemporains, tel Antonio Negri ou Étienne Balibar. Ce nouveau concept permet de penser autrement le problème de la constitution de l’État, de sa production et de sa reproduction à travers la seule logique des affects. Le présent ouvrage fait le point sur les recherches actuelles autour du Traité politique, de la traduction de ses principaux concepts à ses usages possibles pour concevoir le pouvoir et l’émancipation politiques aujourd’hui.
