Michael Della Rocca is Andrew Downey Orrick Professor of Philosophy at Yale University. He is the author of Representation and the Mind-Body Problem in Spinoza (Oxford 1996), Spinoza (Routledge 2008), and numerous articles in contemporary metaphysics and in early modern philosophy.
"[an] extremely rich handbook, whose authors include some of the
most notable Spinoza and early modern philosophy scholars ... By
addressing one of the most complex and rich philosophers of his
time, maybe of all times, this scholarship forces us to confront
not only past interpretations of his philosophy but also to rethink
certain philosophical categories and certain assumptions of what
the job of philosophy is." -- Francesca di Poppa, Metascience
"Della Rocca's edited volume offers notable contributions to our
understanding of Spinoza and his place in the history of
philosophy. It will be a valuable resource for students and
scholars alike... Della Rocca has assembled an admirable collection
of essays. It deepens our understanding of Spinoza through
significant contributions to current debates and close attention to
Spinoza's sources and reception." --Journal of the History of
Philosophy
