Paperback. Condition: New. Three early modern philosophers - Spinoza, Leibniz and Hume - understood that minds necessarily involve ideas and patterns of thinking that are not conscious. Morejon shows that in this way they sharply distinguish themselves from other major early modern thinkers whose conceptions of the mind tended to identify thinking with consciousness, such as Descartes, Malebranche and Locke. This conception of the thinking mind as conscious remains popular even today. By contrast, Leibniz, Spinoza and Hume argue instead that thought is not, as such, a matter of consciousness. Morejon explores the significance of this insight for their conceptions of freedom and ethics. By systematically analyzing the major writings of these three thinkers and placing them in the context of the history of Western philosophy, he shows that together they provide us with a metaphysics of ideas that is uniquely helpful for thinking through important problems in contemporary political theory. In particular, it allows us to understand how it is possible for people to act against their own interests and in spite of their consciously knowing better. Readers will gain a sophisticated understanding of what Leibniz, Spinoza and Hume thought about the metaphysics of ideas, the nature of the human mind and the limits of individual freedom.

Paperback. Condition: New. Alexandre Matheron has worked and written substantially on Spinoza since the publication of his influential 1969 masterpiece 'Individu et communauté chez Spinoza' (Éditions de Minuit) and he is considered one of the most important interpreters of Spinoza's philosophy in the 20th century. The 20 essays gathered here focus on the themes of ontology, knowledge, politics and ethics in Spinoza, his predecessors and his contemporaries. This is a crucial collection for anyone seeking to understand 20th-century continental Spinozism.
