Description

Plural Temporalities traces out a dynamic historical relationship between the texts of Spinoza and Althusser. It interrogates Spinoza's thought through Althusser's and vice versa, with the intention of opening new horizons for the question of materialism. From the fragmentary intuitions Althusser produced about Spinoza throughout his life, Morfino builds a new and comprehensive interpretation of Spinoza's philosophy.
