Controversial in his time for his critiques of scripture, Spinoza is widely considered to be one of the great rationalists of the 17th century, and his thought has had a lasting influence on a range of fields including metaphysics, ethics, political theory, religion, and Judaism. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eA Companion to Spinoza\u003c\/i\u003e presents a panoramic view of contemporary Spinoza studies in Europe and across the Anglo-American world. Designed to stimulate productive dialogue between the analytic and continental traditions, this extraordinary volume brings together 53 original essays from an international team of established and emerging scholars which together explore Spinoza’s philosophy, legacy, and influence and advance new ideas to direct future research. Divided into six thematically organized sections, chapters examine Spinoza’s life and background, his contributions to metaphysics and natural philosophy, his epistemology, politics, ethics, and aesthetics, and his reception in the work of interlocutors such as Kant, Schelling, Schopenhauer, and Hegel. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThoughtfully composed and expertly curated, \u003ci\u003eA Companion to Spinoza\u003c\/i\u003e is an unparalleled reference resource for researchers and scholars in Spinoza studies, students of modern philosophy, intellectual history, and the history of metaphysics, and general readers interested in the life and legacy of one of history’s most remarkable thinkers.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003e\u003cp\u003eNotes on Contributors xi\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eList of Abbreviations xvii\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eIntroduction xix\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eYitzhak Y.
