About the Book

Jaquet offers a detailed analysis of time, duration, and eternity in Spinoza's works, as well as how these themes relate to each other through the entirety of his corpus. With Spinoza, she asks how it is possible for human beings, as finite modes of existence, to share in God's eternity, as well as how human existence relates to the eternity of God, or Nature.
This translation will allow English readers to closely track the concepts of time, duration, and eternity from the early Spinoza through to the last of his works. It will also situate his thought in relation to the scholastic philosophies that preceded him, all with close attention to the Latin throughout.

About the Author :
Chantal Jaquet is Professor of Philosophy at the Universite Paris I, Pantheon-Sorbonne. She is the author of numerous books on Spinoza in French including Sub specie aeternitatis: etude des concepts de temps, duree et eternite chez Spinoza (1997), Spinoza ou la Prudence (1997), L'unite d corps et de l'esprit: Affects, actions, passions chez Spinoza (2004), Les expressions de la puissance d'agir chez Spinoza (2005), and Spinoza l'oeuvre, composition des corps et force des idees (2017). Alexandre Matheron was formerly Professor of Philosophy at the Ecole normale superieure de Fontenay-Saint-Cloud and the CNRS. His key works include The Individual and Community in Spinoza (ditions de Minuit, 1968), Christ and the Salvation of the Ignorants in Spinoza (ditions Aubier-Montaigne, 1971) and Anthropology and Politics in the 17th Century (Vrin, 1985). Eric Aldieri is Assistant Professor of Philosophy at Bridgewater State University. He has been published in Hypatia, Deleuze & Guattari Studies, and Derrida Today and The Journal of Speculative Philosophy. He has translated several works of French Spinozism into English, including Chantal Jaquet's Time, Duration, and Eternity in Spinoza, published by Edinburgh University Press in 2023. His co-authored translation of Francois Zourabichvili's Spinoza, A Physics of Thought: Form and Individuation will publish in March 2026, also with Edinburgh University Press.

Review :
Chantal Jaquet's impressive book decodes some of the most challenging concepts in Spinoza's philosophy. Her meticulous analysis of terms from across Spinoza’s corpus untangles the tightest knots in the final part of his Ethics. Jaquet's precision and care for philosophical language shine though in Aldieri’s translation. This is a brilliant and erudite study by a leading scholar of an important set of difficult problems in Spinoza’s metaphysics. It is a most welcome addition to Edinburgh University Press’s wonderful series bringing the best of French Spinoza scholarship to an Anglophone readership.
