Abstract

This study aims to show the relation of knowledge to the affections in the philosophy of Spinoza, and how it takes place within a deterministic reality. The article demonstrates how the adequate knowledge of nature, which is the intuition, leads man to freedom, which is the self- determination. This is a bibliographical research concerning the works of Spinoza and commentators as supporting literature.
