Philosophy, as Spinoza understands it, is the art of learning to live as joyfully and securely as we can. But because we can only practice this art collectively, philosophising is always a partly political project - a matter of learning to live together peacefully and harmoniously. What enables us to do this?
In this talk, Susan James discusses how some of Spinozaās answers, especially his analysis of natural right, jolt our assumptions and make us reconsider the problem.
