Offers a detailed analysis of time, duration, and eternity from the early Spinoza to its eventual shape in the Ethics and Theologico-Political Treatise
Constitutes the first book-length study by one of the world's leading Spinoza scholars
Offers a systematic reading of key Spinozist concepts concerning time and eternity
Reads the concepts of time and duration positively and affirmatively in their relation to God and eternity
Closely tracks the emergence and movement of these concepts throughout Spinoza's work
First published in 1997, and subsequently revised and reissued in 2015, Chantal Jaquet's Sub specie aeternitatis: tude des concepts de temps, dur e et ternit chez Spinoza is the book-version of Jaquet's doctoral thesis, and the first of her now five book-length publications on Spinoza. With Spinoza, Jaquet asks how it is possible for human beings, as finite modes of existence, to share in God's eternity, as well as how human existence relates to the eternity of God, or Nature.
This translation will allow English readers to closely track the concepts of time, duration, and eternity from the early Spinoza through to the last of his works. It will also situate his thought in relation to the scholastic philosophies that preceded him, all with close attention to the Latin throughout.
