Add article description


Expressionism in Philosophy: Spinoza (French: Spinoza et le problème de l'expression) is a 1968 book by the philosopher Gilles Deleuze, in which the author conceives Baruch Spinoza as a solitary thinker who envisioned philosophy as an enterprise of liberation and radical demystification. Deleuze sees how the univocity of Being fits into the theory of substance and looks into the relationship between the theory of ideas and the production of truth and sense, the organisation of affect (elimination of sad passions) to achieve joy, and the organization of affect in the theory of modes.[1]
