| Summary: | "This book provides a reinterpretation of Spinoza's metaphysics that aims to understand the powerful ways in which structural notions inform the development of his philosophy. Concepts such as substance, mode, and attribute have often been treated as monoliths in the scholarly community seeking to interpret Spinoza's metaphysics. Here, they are examined as vital and interrelated through structural notions such as causality, conception, inherence, limitation, expression, affection, and power. As a result, the interpretative lens elaborated here recasts apparently familiar notions - such as "individual" or "Nature" - while also providing insight into the metaphysical grounding of their ontological character and operations. Moreover, the application of this metaphysical reinterpretation of Spinoza's Ethics showcases the complex unity of his masterpiece, explaining the path to intellectual salvation that he offers as a reward to his readers"-- Provided by publisher. |
