Pierre Macherey explains the necessity of Hegel’s misreading in the kernel of thought that is “indigestible” for Hegel, which makes the Spinozist system move in a way that Hegel cannot grasp. In doing so, Macherey exposes the limited and situated truth of Hegel’s perspective-which reveals more about Hegel himself than about his object of analysis. Against Hegel’s characterization of Spinoza’s work as immobile, Macherey offers a lively alternative that upsets the accepted historical progression of philosophical knowledge. He finds in Spinoza an immanent philosophy that is not subordinated to the guarantee of an a priori truth. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNot simply authorizing a particular reading-a “good” Spinoza against a “bad” Hegel-\u003ci\u003eHegel or Spinoza\u003c\/i\u003e initiates an encounter that produces a new understanding, a common truth that emerges in the interval that separates the two. \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eContents\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTranslator’s Introduction: A Dialectics of Encounter\u003cbr\u003eTranslator’s Note and Acknowledgments\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePreface to the Second Edition\u003cbr\u003eThe Alternative\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e1.
