Notes
1 If Althusser’s Spinozism is in question see Althusser (Citation1976), when I was about James’ age now, in response to critics’ and commentators’ uninsightful labelling of Althusser as structuralist Marxist: ‘We were guilty of an equally powerful and compromising passion: we were Spinozists … But you have to read Spinoza and know that he exists: that he still exists today. To recognize him, you must at least have heard of him’ (Althusser Citation1976: 132).
2 See The Institute for the Art and Practice of Dissent at Home’s website for plenty of examples: http://www.twoaddthree.org/againstwithon-children/ or http://www.twoaddthree.org/agm-2016-2/.
3 ‘He looked for some spiders, and made them fight together, or he threw some flies into the cobweb, and was so well-pleased with that battle, that he would sometimes break into laughter’ (Colerus Spinoza’s biographer cited in Deleuze Citation2001: 12).
4 Kant’s pietism grew to be ‘the equivalent of the official ideology of the Prussian state’ (Williams 2016: 4).
5 The Institute was set up while my partner, Lena Simic, was pregnant with Sid in 2007, but I’m keen on using the potentially affective parallel of Sid and me being the same age when ‘important’ things happened. For comprehensive information on the last decade of activity at The Institute for the Art and Practice of Dissent at Home see http://www. twoaddthree.org.
