Becoming Political: Spinoza's Vital Republicanism and the Democratic Power of Judgment (University of Chicago Press, 2018).
"Any reader interested in (re)discovering Spinoza should start with Christopher Skeaff's erudite yet supple Becoming Political, a book that not only offers a fresh interpretation of Spinoza...but also mobilizes that reading to engage rigorously and meaningfully with a variety of strands of contemporary political theory."
-- Samuel Chambers, Johns Hopkins University
"A very impressive and fascinating work...This book will definitely make a serious and lasting contribution to current Spinoza scholarship and political philosophy in general."
-- Martin Saar, Goethe University, Frankfurt, Germany
