Article: Machining fantasy: Spinoza, Hume and the miracle in a politics of desire

Another article by Kyle McGee, an independent scholar with a J.D. from Villanova University (2009): "Machining fantasy: Spinoza, Hume and the miracle in a politics of desire" ("Philosophy & Social Criticism", 36 [7], September 2010: pp. 837-56).

Quote: "Political theology understands the miracle poorly, for it captures only the inaugural movement of exception; it knows nothing of the social and political conditions it inspires. ... The article works out a conceptual genealogy, tracing the descent of the miracle back from Deleuze and Guattari to Baruch Spinoza and David Hume. Each contributes an element essential for the constitution of miraculation."
