Exploring Spinoza's concept of conatus, the book presents a strategic interpretation of human striving as a dynamic ontology rooted in practical experiences. Laurent Bove examines Spinoza's theory of affects through the lens of Habit, highlighting the collective power of individuals and communities. By framing sovereignty as emerging from the active resistance of diverse bodies, Bove offers a transformative perspective on the State, citizenship, and history. The work is enriched by contributions from scholars with deep expertise in philosophy and Spinoza's thought.
