- More about Affirmation and Resistance in Spinoza: The Strategy of the Conatus
Laurent Bove's interpretation of Spinoza's conatus emphasizes its strategic nature and practical application, viewing Spinozism as a dynamic ontology that unfolds on the terrain of human action. He highlights Spinoza's theory of affects as rooted in habit and the constituent power of human beings, commonwealths, nations, and multitudes. Bove's interpretation of sovereignty as a power that emerges through the active resistance of the multitude offers a new approach to the State, citizenship, and history.

Spinoza's conatus, the essential striving that defines each of us, is explored in a powerful and influential interpretation by Laurent Bove. Bove argues that Spinozism must be understood as a dynamic ontology that unfolds on practical terrain. He analyzes Spinoza's theory of affects as rooted in habit, generating the constituent power of human beings, commonwealths, nations, and multitudes. Bove's interpretation of sovereignty as a power that emerges through the active resistance of the always singular body of the multitude reveals a radically new approach to the State, citizenship, and history.
