Karl Marx was a fiery revolutionary theorist who heralded the imminent demise of capitalism, while Spinoza was a contemplative philosopher who preached rational understanding and voiced scepticism about open rebellion.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eSpinoza criticised all teleological ideas as anthropomorphic fantasies, while Marxism came to be associated expressly with teleological historical development. Yet, socialists of the nineteenth-century Germany were consistently drawn to Spinoza as their philosophical guide.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eTracie Matysik explores how the metaphorical meeting of Spinoza and Marx arose out of an intellectual conundrum about the meaning of activity. How is it, exactly, that humans can be fully determined creatures and also able to change their world?
