According to Louis Althusser, "Spinoza's philosophy introduced an unprecedented theoretical revolution in the history of philosphy" which "was", however, according to Althusser, "buried in inpenetrable darkness". This darkness caused Marx' missunderstanding of Spinoza. "The scope of this book is to reconstruct the histoy of these 'layers of darkness', offering the genealogy of that prejudice in German philosophy and culture that has been advanced in Spinoza's name. The four sections, respectively dedicated to Leibniz and Spinoza, the Spinoza Renaissance, idealism and Spinoza, and materalism and Spinoza, specify the precise nodes of this history" (p. 357) Vgl. Idem: Genealogia ... di Spinoza nella cultura tedesca tra il Settecento e l'Ottocento. - Milano : Università degli studi, 1990 |
