Expressionism in Philosophy: Spinoza is a 1968 book by Gilles Deleuze, originally published in French as Spinoza et le problème de l'expression (1968) in which the author conceives Baruch Spinoza as a solitary thinker who envisioned philosophy as an enterprise of liberation and radical demystification. Deleuze carries out the following investigations in this book: he sees how the univocity of Being fits into the theory of substance, he looks into the relationship between the theory of ideas and the production of truth and sense, the organisation of affect (elimination of sad passions) to achieve joy and the organization of affect in the theory of modes.[1]
