Hegel or Spinoza
"Pierre Macherey not only demonstrates how Hegel misread Spinoza, but also offers against the backdrop of the Hegelian dialectic an exciting and original interpretation of Spinoza’s thought. The alternative—Hegel or Spinoza—thus becomes a powerful and significant dividing line for politics and thought. And Macherey forces you to choose which side you are on." —Michael Hardt, coauthor ofEmpire,Multitude, andCommonwealth"Hegel or Spinozais a classic. Both Spinoza and Hegel  emerge from Macherey’s work in nearly unrecognizable forms, allowing us  to read them in unprecedented ways." —Warren Montag, author ofBodies, Masses, Power: Spinoza and His Contemporaries
