Kant and Spinozism

Beth Lord looks at Kant''s philosophy in relation to four thinkers who attempted to fuse transcendental idealism with Spinoza''s doctrine of immanence. Examining Jacobi, Herder, Maimon and Deleuze, Lord argues that Spinozism is central to the development of Kant''s thought, and opens new avenues for understanding Kant''s relation to Deleuze.
