“…(Negri 1999) Pierre Macherey has staged a direct confrontation between Spinoza and Hegel, stressing the degree to which the former eludes the grasp of the latter's history of philosophy, and therefore represents an important alternative to Hegelian views. (Macherey 2012) Gilles Deleuze, finally, has mined the western philosophical tradition for alternatives to Hegel, among which Spinoza must be counted as one of the most important. (Deleuze 1992 and1988) To these should be added Althusser's co-worker Etienne Balibar, whose Spinoza and Politics is in my view and perhaps his, one of his best works.…”

Ilyenkov was, as far as I know, not aware of the fact that in March to April 1841, at the age of 22, Karl Marx made extensive transcriptions in Latin from Spinoza, together with other philosophers as I outline below, as part of his reading for his doctoral thesisThe Difference Between the Democritean and Epicurean Philosophy of Nature. These notebooks were published by Dietz Verlag in the GDR in 1976, a year before Ilyenkov's death, in two volumes (Marx, 1976). Volume 1 contains Marx's transcriptions in Latin and German; Volume II contains translations from Latin into German, and notes, the "Apparat". A translation into French, by Maximilien Rubel, with an Introduction by Rubel, appeared in 1977(Rubel 1977.My own interest in Spinoza was sparked by reading, in the early 1980s, one of the later works of E. V. Ilyenkov (1924Ilyenkov ( -1979, for me the most interesting of the philosophers working in the USSR, namely his Dialectical Logic, especially Essay Two, "Thought as an Attribute of Extension" (Ilyenkov 1977). Ilyenkov also made extensive reference to Spinoza 3 in the first two sections of Chapter One of the revised version, for translation into German in 1979, of The Dialectics of the Abstract and Concrete in Marx's Capital (Abstract and Concrete), first published in Russian in 1960, and in English in 1982. It is a curious fact, to which I will return, that all Ilyenkov's references in Dialectical Logic but one, are to Spinoza's Ethics, with one reference to On the Improvement of the Understanding (Improvement), while all the references in Abstract and Concrete are to Spinoza's Improvement. I wonder whether Ilyenkov only had Volume 1 of the two volume Selected Works of Spinoza.I am very grateful to the participants in the Helsinki seminar, and to Andrey Maidansky and Vesa Oittinen for their acute and insightful comments on earlier drafts of this chapter. All errors are, of course, my own.

“…Thus, from the absolute to its determinations, and from these determinations to the absolute itself, no rational progression can be established at all, because it is a question of irreducible terms, which unite exclusively negative relations. (emphasis mine) 9 More simply put, for Spinoza, there is no dualism. Nor even is there parallelism, really, since, as Macherey notes, parallelism maintains the illusion that thought and extension are two separate things.…”

‘A definite quantity of all the differences in the world’: Glissant, Spinoza, and the Abyss as True Cause

In a conversation with Manthia Diawara aboard the Queen Mary II in 2009, Édouard Glissant elaborated his definition of Relation, a concept that he formally presented in his book Poétique de la relation in 1990, but that emerged out of years of writing about creolization and cultural action in the Caribbean. Sitting at the ship’s window, with the Atlantic Ocean crashing around him, Glissant explains that “the truth that is increasingly coming to light about Black reality in the New World is the truth of multiplicity, the truth of the step towards the Other.”

“…Pierre Macherey (2006) afirma que la imagen de Spinoza en la filosofía contemporánea europea se encontró, hasta las interpretaciones de Deleuze (1968) y Matheron (1969), condicionada por la lectura que Hegel había hecho de él. Esta renovada interpretación francesa, sumada a los aportes de Althusser, impulsó a distintos pensadores (dentro de los que se destacan, entre otros, Étienne Balibar, Pierre Macherey y Antonio Negri) a reactivar y reconstruir la potencia teórica y política de Marx principalmente a partir de su vinculación con Nietzsche, Maquiavelo y el filósofo holandés.…”

Althusser y Rozitchner: dos caminos hacia Spinoza

En el presente trabajo realizaremos un contrapunto de los caminos que llevaron a las filosofías de Louis Althusser y de León Rozitchner desde los problemas abiertos por el marxismo hacia la filosofía de Spinoza. Intentaremos pensar el momento de la vida de cada teoría en que Spinoza hizo su irrupción, qué problemas teóricos condujeron en cada caso a un encuentro conceptual con el pensamiento del filósofo holandés y, en este sentido, qué aspectos de la filosofía de Spinoza fueron retomados. En el caso de Althusser, el hincapié aparecerá en Spinoza como antídoto contra toda teleología y como portador de una concepción materialista de la imaginación; en el caso de Rozitchner, Spinoza se hará presente en tanto ilumina una racionalidad profunda asociada a la vida afectiva de los hombres.
