Riccardo Caporali examines of all of Spinozas works while addressing the challenges imposed by the historical circumstances at the time. Spinozas work and its author the philosopher and the man go hand in hand. Focusing on Spinozas constant preoccupation with the relationship between metaphysics and politics, Caporali shows that it takes different forms in his various major works. He highlights specific moments of this discontinuity, particularly in the transition between the Tractatus Theologico-Politicus and the Tractatus Politicus. And he weaves in comparisons and references to Machiavelli, Descartes, Hobbes, Locke, Vico and Hegel, and to many contemporary interpretations of Spinozas thought.
