Abstract
The introduction provides an outline of the major points of contact between Spinoza and Nietzsche that will serve to orient the research presented in the rest of the book. This helps us, by using their recourse to the body, to contrast their thinking with the condemnation of our corporeal nature dominant in much of Platonism and Christianity.
