Spinoza in a postmodern context: Reading the "Ethics" with Peirce, Levinas and Deleuze. - 276 p.

Adviser: Peter Ochs.

Thesis (Ph.D.)--University of Virginia, 2007.

In light of recent interdisciplinary work linking Spinoza's philosophy to a variety of contemporary concerns (including those of political theory, neurobiology and literary criticism), the present study examines how the discursive form of Spinoza's Ethics expresses a potential for the development of a notion of philosophical practice relevant to today's needs. In the study, Spinoza's text is situated in the context of contemporary issues in Continental philosophy surrounding the concepts of difference and otherness on the one hand and language and subjectivity on the other. These issues are addressed in relation to three later philosophers whose works engage in various ways the practices that constitute philosophy as a modern and contemporary tradition: Charles S. Peirce, Emmanuel Levinas and Gilles Deleuze. The semiotics of Peirce provide an initial framework for understanding the unique interpretive problems offered by the Ethics in terms of a pragmatic conception of signifying philosophical processes based on triadic relations. The phenomenological ethics of Levinas offer an interruption of Spinozist thought by critiquing the impersonal form of Spinoza's reasoning and contrasting dominant Western philosophical modes of discourse with the textual practices of Talmudic reasoning. Deleuze's reading of Spinoza demonstrates how a conception of philosophical practice no longer founded upon egoic structures leads to a notion of philosophy as a collective and creative ethos, how philosophy as a discipline is thus constituted in and through its transformative relations---its becomings---with respect to the disciplines and practices of art, science and---potentially---religion. As interpreted across the relationships and disjunctions of Peircean, Levinasian and Deleuzian thinking, an idea of philosophical practice in Spinoza's Ethics is thereby constructed through the correlated concepts of relation and singularity. The constructive reinterpretation of these concepts as they function across the work of Peirce, Levinas and Deleuze allows for a non-synthetic yet engaged communication of personal and impersonal forms of reasoning and early modern and postmodern genres of philosophy in the reading of Spinoza's Ethics.
