Fran?ois Zourabichvili wrote two major contributions to Spinoza scholarship. While Une physique de la pens?e (PUF, 2002) concerns Spinoza's epistemology and metaphysics of ideas, Spinoza's Paradoxical Conservatism focuses on his political philosophy.
Zourabichvili's interpretation of Spinoza's political philosophy is radically unlike the established tradition. In this book he explores Spinoza's philosophical theory of change across three different studies. First, within ethical transition, secondly within the image of the infant in Spinoza's work and third dealing with absolute monarchy which was dominant during Spinoza's time and provided his polemical writings with a concrete target.
The book's challenging and carefully-argued claims will be of serious interest to anyone working in political theory, early modern philosophy or contemporary French thought.
François Zourabichvili was a director at the Collège international de philosophie in Paris from 1998 to 2004. He is the author of Deleuze: A Philosophy of the Event (Edinburgh University Press, 2012) and Spinoza: Une physique de la pensée (Presses Universitaires de Paris, 2002)
Gil Morejón teaches at Loyola University Chicago. His research focuses on early modern metaphysics and political theory. He is the author of The Unconscious of Thought in Leibniz, Spinoza and Hume (Edinburgh University Press, 2022) and co-edited and co-translated Alexandre Matheron's Politics, Ontology and Knowledge in Spinoza (Edinburgh University Press, 2020)
