SPINOZA: CONCEPTUAL PAIRS AND OTHER FECUND PARADOXES

Abstract

The paper emphasizes a kind of wisdom in Spinoza´s system that consists in the integration of different dimensions of reality (expressed in different levels too), that is to say, the use of two perspectives of the same through a binary structure or new parallelism: natura naturans and natura naturata, body and soul, eternity and time, ideas and affects, intellect and will, liberty and security, etc. The question is to show both sides of that complex unity in a well-balanced vision that includes theoretical and practical aspects.
