Acknowledgments
This book started as my doctoral dissertation at Leiden University, an institution to which I am profoundly indebted for generously supporting my research. I could not have hoped for a finer group of colleagues. A significant part of my study of Spinoza has been conducted during a research visit at the Université Paris 1, Panthéon-Sorbonne. It is simply impossible to express all the many debts of gratitude I owe to family, friends and colleagues. Special thanks go to Herman Siemens, for his unwavering patience with earlier drafts, his inexhaustible energy and incredible acuity in helping me improve them. He believed in this project even when I did not. This book would not have been possible without Chantal Jaquet and her invaluable guidance, exceptional insights, and her gift for giving me the confidence to pursue my writing. I am deeply grateful to Frans de Haas, Simon May, Piet Steenbakkers, and to all those who read earlier versions and encouraged me to better my arguments. I regret not being able to thank all individuals in the audiences at various talks where I presented rough drafts of the arguments contained in this book. The anonymous referees for Palgrave Macmillan, Nietzsche-Studien, and The European Journal of Philosophy have much improve
