Beskrivning
Christian Lazzeri examines the relationship between the political theory of Hobbes and that of Spinoza. Arguing against longstanding one-sided interpretations, he shows how Spinoza both took up and modified, accepted and distanced himself from Hobbes’s ideas. This also brings out problematic aspects of Hobbes’s thinking from Spinoza’s perspective.Most importantly, Lazzeri traces how Spinoza constructed a political philosophy, not on the narrow basis of an autonomous political sphere constituted by the relationships between rational legal subjects to produce indivisible sovereignty, but rather on the broad basis of the complex web of social relations and a purely institutionalist framework.

Recensioner i media

This newly translated work of Christian Lazzeri's is a masterpiece of both interpretation and political philosophical reasoning. The depth, thoroughness and fairness of the analysis of both Hobbes and Spinoza is such that the result is more a comparison than a critique. From now on, anyone working seriously on the political philosophy of Hobbes or Spinoza, and the era in which they wrote, will need to consult Lazzeri's work.
