Abstract

The present work seeks to trace the figure of Baruch Spinoza in the thought of Judith Butler. For this reason, at first, the famous opposition between Spinoza and Hegel will be analyzed, in order, in a second instance, to repair how Butler understands Spinoza’s own philosophy and, finally, to see how the philosopher manages to unite it with Spinoza’s. Hegel. Through these three moments we can see how it is possible to think, in Butler's words, of a complementary continuity between Spinoza and Hegel.
