In this session we were joined by Tracie Matysik to discuss the very idea of a Spinozan philosophy beyond the writings of Baruch Spinoza himself, and particular in the work of Marx. To what extent is there a consistent tradition of materialist monism that can be traced back to Spinoza and necessarily or possibly informs historical materialism? What is the nature of the Marx / Spinoza Encounter? How much Spinoza did Marx himself actually read?
