Spinoza was interested in contemplating eternal truths of nature while Marx was interested in the history of capital. \u003cbr\u003eFranck Fischbach suggests that by reading the two together we may better understand both history and nature, as well as ourselves, making possible a new understanding of human nature. Rather than see history and nature as opposed, history is nothing but the constant transformation of nature. \u003cbr\u003eCentral to this transformation is a new understanding of alienation not as loss of the self in a world of objects, but as loss of objects in a world that disconnects us from nature and social relations, leaving us isolated as a subject. The isolated individual, the kingdom within a kingdom, as Spinoza put it, is not the condition of our liberation but the basis of our subjection.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Franck Fischbach\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Edinburgh University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 02\/28\/2025\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSeries:\u003c\/b\u003e Spinoza Studies\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 160\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.43lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.50h x 5.50w x 0.35d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781399507677","brand":"Edinburgh University Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43446857695369,"sku":"9781399507677","price":24.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0636\/9240\/6921\/files\/img_73814ca1-c2da-4bdf-8d56-801222c284ea.jpg?v=1741683799","url":"https:\/\/sonsanddaughtersbooks.com\/products\/marx-with-spinoza-production-alienation-history-9781399507677","provider":"Sons and Daughters Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
