    Why don't you give exact delivery time?

    Delivery time is estimated on our previous experiences. We give estimations only, because we order from outside Hungary, and the delivery time mainly depends on how quickly the publisher supplies the book. Faster or slower deliveries both happen, but we do our best to supply as quickly as possible.

    Long description:

    Spinoza on the Human Perspective gathers a variety of contributions concerned with the role of the human perspective and the human lifeform in Spinoza's philosophy, as well as the resources that Spinoza provides for such a philosophy. While significant parts of the current scholarship tend towards ascribing an acosmist view, more recent interpretations have begun to consider human life and specifically human attitudes as being of fundamental concern to Spinoza. It is the aim of this book to draw attention to those parts of Spinoza's philosophy where he is explicitly engaged in a reflection on human life, or some peculiarity of it.

    The chapters collected here argue in various ways that notions such as 'human being' and 'human life' play a significant role in his thought, and that they do so in non-trivial ways. These hitherto neglected perspectives on Spinoza's philosophy result in accounts of a Spinozistic universe that is no longer completely devoid of particulars and of all those features of reality that are usually taken to be fundamental to the human condition and experience, such as subjectivity or perspectivity, temporality, and emotional salience. In doing so, this book provides new avenues for the study of Spinoza's philosophy. It highlights the role of the human perspective for his metaphysics, ethics, philosophy of mind, epistemology, and social and political philosophy. Accordingly, the volume contains highly original contributions from leading scholars that will have a notable impact on the full breath of Spinoza studies.
