Truly not expert in all-things-Spinoza but I do dearly love John Berger's work and this is a beautiful book should either of you not yet know it (and a recent reissue, too): www.versobooks.com/products/219...

The additions and remarks in the notes by Frank Mertens (Ghent University) are excellent however, e.g. on (a few) misinterpretations by Rovere of Dutch text and context. The back and forth of their arguments is a joy to read.

I especially liked how Rovere puts Spinoza in a context of friends with their own ideas (some more, some less radical), making it a collective process with lots of grey areas. Also, I had to find the notes on the Internet Way Back Machine as they are no longer on-line, shamefully. 1/2

In that context I rather liked Maxime Rovere's Le clan Spinoza (on Spinoza's life and formation) as a kind of in between form (of novel and philosophical book). Not perfect, but nice and original.
