| book description |

Spinoza scholarship today resembles a proliferating forest, diversifying and developing every day. Spinoza's Labyrinths invites the reader to explore some recently charted paths in these woods, whilst also forging some new trails. This volume collects essays by Yitzhak Melamed on Spinoza's metaphysics, some of which are new but most of which were published over the last decade and a half. The common methodological attitude that most, if not all, of these studies reflect is the commitment to a bottom-up reconstruction of Spinoza's philosophy, where Spinoza's text is both the point of departure and the constant touchstone against which any interpretation must be evaluated. Across four key parts, Melamed traces diachronically the development of key concepts of Spinoza's metaphysics, discusses key problems at the core of his metaphysics, examines the connection between Spinoza's substance monism and the philosophy of the ancient Eleatics, and conducts a historical study of Spinoza's debt to the Kabbalah.
