François Zourabichvili offers a reading of the work of Spinoza surprisingly articulates a very unique tour with a fundamental question that puts it at the height of the great contemporaries, such commentators as Pierre Macherey, Martial Gueroult, Gilles Deleuze, or Alexandre Matheron, to who sometimes it integrates, and others discussed.

The whole route, from which begins with the bodies and their relations of movement and rest, until it ends in "the great psychopathology of Ethics", which allows to consider Spinoza, according to the famous expression of Nietzsche as a "doctor civilization "is guided by the problem of the formation of individuals and their transformations. The Spinozist food problems, amnesia, childhood, anorexia, alcoholism, illness, melancholy, chimeras, suicide, death, will be forced passages and steps.

But the uniqueness of the course is based on one of those still unsolved mysteries of Spinoza's work generally avoided in the comments, and that arises here unusually frontal way: there in the Ethics a physical extension of the composition and decomposition of the bodies, but there the same way "because it is not looking where you have to do" a physics of thought, which however is key to a philosophy that explicitly rejects the vulgar materialism. How ideas are made? Are individuals? What is the principle of individuation? When did it become? How to conceive the death of an idea? These are the questions to develop a cogitativa physical effect that can not be physical or metaphorical dela carbon copy of bodies.
