Pethick investigates a much neglected philosophical connection between two of the most controversial figures in the history of philosophy: Spinoza and Nietzsche. By examining the crucial role that affectivity plays in their philosophies, this book claims that the two philosophers share the common goal of making knowledge the most powerful affect.

Stuart Pethick is an independent writer and researcher within early modern and modern European philosophy with a special interest in the relationship between affectivity, ideas and language.
