Spinoza. Il tempo della libertà. Con una nota su Kant e Spinoza

Year: 2025

Type: article

Abstract: Spinoza maintains that freedom coincides with self-determination. Self-determination is entrusted to actions that derive from adequate ideas. These ideas are the same possessed by God and therefore are placed in the dimension of eternity. Hence, the problem of explaining how ideas found in the eternal dimension can act over time. Spinoza proposes a strategy that, in various ways, transposes the ideas of reason into imagination’s images. Kant will also tackle the problem and offer a solution far from Spinoza’s. Paradoxically, the most tenacious denier of free will, which Spinoza surely was, did not condemn man to an unchangeable fate as did Kant, the most tenacious advocate of free will.
