Hasana Sharp's <i>Spinoza and the Politics of Renaturalization</i>: A Response
Bibliographic record
Abstract
s Spinoza and the Politics of Renaturalization revitalizes the power of Spinoza's naturalism by bringing it into close proximity to strands of contemporary theory with which it bears strong affinities. In the process, Sharp generates a new concept, the "politics of renaturalization," which, like the finite modes of Spinoza's ontology, acquires its form and force partly in agonistic relation to rival concepts-such as Judith Butler's post-Hegelian politics of recognition-that threaten to diminish its potency. Key categories in Spinoza's system (affect, idea, reason) combine with Elisabeth Grosz's "renaturalization," Gilles Deleuze's "ethology," Gilbert Simondon's "transindividuality," among others, to accentuate the strengths of cuttingedge theorizing and abate the dominative effects of new humanisms. Sharp's book thus endeavors not only to explicate but also to enact a project of renaturalization, understood as a "strategy to attenuate the antipathy that plagues our psyches and our life in common" (5).

How this classification was reachedexpand
Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
