We’re Starting Expressionism in Philosophy: Spinoza on 2/24

Hi everyone!

I’ve managed to convert a .djvu file into a searchable .pfd of Expressionism in Philosophy Spinoza. Click the link to download it.

We’ll begin talking about the Introduction and Chapter 1: “Numerical and Real Distinction” on Tuesday, 2/24.

See you then!

Conclusion to Difference and Repetition on 2/17

At our next group meeting on 2/17, we’ll finish with Chapter 5 and move on the Conclusion of Difference and Repetition.

Deleuze’s Expressionism in Philosophy: Spinoza [Heads up: a 47.5 MB download] has been suggested for our next book. (Note, this is the longer book on Spinoza. Deleuze also did a shorter book called Spinoza: Practical Philosophy.) If anyone has any other suggestions, please post them! Otherwise, let’s plan on moving on to Expressionism in Philosophy after we finish Difference and Repetition.

Best,

Jason
