Submitted by Гость (not verified) on Wed, 09/04/2024 - 23:54The attention is focused on the presence in V part of the Spinoza’s «Ethics» of what, at first sight, seems to be mutually exclusive statements. On the one hand, it is a statement on the temporal and infinite continuation of the existence of the reasonable component of the human soul after the death of the body and, on the other, on its death together with the body. This mysterious situation is clarified through its correlation with the XXIII chapter of Spinoza's earliest work.
