Reviews

One of the most decisive political and philosophical questions of our age is that of power. What is real power? Who holds power? What can be done with power? And what are its limits? The essays of this volume provide new resources for addressing the problem of power today. Their wager is that Spinoza's understanding of authority may help break free from the sad passions of today's politics and thinking. Through an unflinching analysis of authority we may begin to articulate an ethics of power. * Anthony Paul Smith, Assistant Professor of Religion and Theology, LaSalle University, USA * This rich collection of papers shows the importance of Spinoza's political writings for the themes of authority, power, law, and freedom. I cannot imagine a better introduction to his philosophy. It should pique the interest of every student of modern political philosophy. * Steven Smith, Alfred Cowles Professor of Government & Philosophy, Yale University, USA *

The two volumes of Spinoza's Authority have a great deal to offer students and working scholars alike. They contribute to the continental tradition of the interpretation of Spinoza, and they also describe Spinozism as an approach to current social and political issues. * Notre Dame Philosophical Reviews * One of the most decisive political and philosophical questions of our age is that of power.
