This collection of 13 new essays shows what Baruch Spinoza can add to our understanding of the relational nature of autonomy. By offering a relational understanding of the nature of individuals centred on the role played by emotions, Spinoza offers not only historical roots for contemporary debates but also broadens the current discussion. At the same time, reading Spinoza as a theorist of relational autonomy underscores the consistency of his overall metaphysical, ethical and political project, which has been clouded by the standard rationalist interpretation of his works.

Aurelia Armstrong is Lecturer in Philosophy at the University of Queensland, Australia. She has published many essays on Spinoza, Nietzsche, Foucault, Deleuze and Feminism. Keith Green is Professor of Philosophy at East Tennessee State University. He has published widely on Spinoza and Aquinas in a number of journals. Andrea Sangiacomo is Assistant Professor of Philosophy at the University of Groningen. He is the author of Spinoza on Reason, Passions and the Supreme Good (Oxford University Press).s. He is the author of L’essenza del corpo. Spinoza e la scienza delle composizioni (Olms, 2013).
