| German commentary | "Spinoza's philosophy recues autonomy from the liberal tradition. In particular it attends to the risk of detachment and solitude present in liberal theories of reesom without extinguishing individuality or simply 'absorbing' it into the whole of Nature. This elementary, first-order relationality involves a reciprocity of interdependent and interconnected processes of individuation that is able to hold in productive tension the collective and the individual elements present within modern conceptions of autonomy." (p. 126) |
