With Hobbes and Locke, Spinoza is arguably one of the most important political philosophers of the modern era, a premier theoretician of democracy and mass politics. In this revised and augmented English translation of his 1985 classic, "Spinoza et la Politique," Etienne Balibar presents a synoptic account of Spinoza s major works, admirably demonstrating relevance to his contemporary political life. Balibar carefully situates Spinoza s major treatises in the period in which they were written. In successive chapters, he examines the political situation in the United Provinces during Spinoza s lifetime, Spinoza s own religious and ideological associations, the concept of democracy developed in the "Theologico-Political Treatise," the theory of the state advanced in the "Political Treatise" and the anthropological basis for politics established in the "Ethics.""
