Course contents

Reading Spinoza: The Imagination

The seminar is dedicated to the study of the second part of Spinoza's Ethica, De Natura et Origine Mentis. It will take place in the fourth period and, although independent of this, it will benefit from the Philosophy of History course dedicated to the Ontology of power. It is therefore possible to follow the course first and then the seminar. The student is expected to actively participate.
