James Kreines, the Edward S. Gould Professor of Philosophy published Hegel and Spinoza (Cambridge University Press, 2025). Part of the Elements in the Philosophy of Georg Wilhelm Fredrich Hegel series, Hegel and Spinoza examines Hegel’s engagement with Spinoza’s metaphysics in three parts: employs Hegel’s reading to highlight the strengths of Spinoza’s metaphysical monism; defends Hegel’s critique that Spinoza’s system ultimately dissolves all finitude into an undifferentiated abyss; and applies these insights to interpret Hegel’s Logic, clarifying how its ambitious claims rest on explanatory reasons rather than mere assumption unpacking.
