This book, which presents Spinoza's main ideas in dictionary form, has as its subject the opposition between ethics and morality, and the link between ethical and ontological propositions. His ethics is an ethology, rather than a moral science.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eAttention has been drawn to Spinoza by deep ecologists such as Arne Naess, the Norwegian philosopher; and this reading of Spinoza by Deleuze lends itself to a radical ecological ethic. As Robert Hurley says in his introduction, \"Deleuze opens us to the idea that the elements of the different individuals we compose may be nonhuman within us. One wonders, finally, whether Man might be defined as a territory, a set of boundaries, a limit on existence.\" Gilles Deleuze, known for his inquiries into desire, language, politics, and power, finds a kinship between Spinoza and Nietzsche.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eHe writes, \"Spinoza did not believe in hope or even in courage; he believed only in joy and in vision ...he more than any other gave me the feeling of a gust of air from behind each time I read him, of a witch's broom that he makes one mount. \" Gilles Deleuze (1925-1995) was a French philosopher whose writings influenced many philosophical disciplines such as literary theory, post-structuralism, and postmodernism. He also taught philosophy at the University of Paris at Vicennes.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eRobert Hurley was a translator for many French philosophers including Michael Foucault (History of Sexuality), Gilles Deleuze, and George Bataille (Theory of Religion).\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"UTF-8\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cspan\u003eFormat: P\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"gmail_default\"\u003eaperback\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cspan\u003ePublis\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"gmail_default\"\u003ehed: USA, 2001\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003ePublish\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"gmail_default\"\u003eer: City Lights Books\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003ePages: 130\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eLanguage: English \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eISBN: 9780872862180\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Gilles Deleuze","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56818650710347,"sku":null,"price":15.9,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0978\/8755\/1819\/files\/9780872862180.jpg?v=1773757114","url":"https:\/\/desirelinesbookstore.com\/products\/spinoza-practical-philosophy","provider":"desirelines books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
