The chapters collected here argue in various ways that notions such as 'human being' and 'human life' play a significant role in his thought, and that they do so in non-trivial ways. These hitherto neglected perspectives on Spinoza's philosophy result in accounts of a Spinozistic universe that is no longer completely devoid of particulars and of all those features of reality that are usually taken to be fundamental to the human condition and experience, such as subjectivity or perspectivity, temporality, and emotional salience. In doing so, this book provides new avenues for the study of Spinoza's philosophy. It highlights the role of the human perspective for his metaphysics, ethics, philosophy of mind, epistemology, and social and political philosophy. Accordingly, the volume contains highly original contributions from leading scholars that will have a notable impact on the full breath of Spinoza studies.
