» THE MAN ACCORDING TO SPINOZA AND HIS THEOLOGICAL ASSUMPTIONS
By María Emilia Barreyro

Sumary

This article offers a reading of the conception of Man according to Spinoza, as belonging to the tradition of democratic thought, by considering his theological assumptions. The article argues against Carl Schmitt’s thesis according to which there are only two notions about Human Nature: the pessimistic and the optimistic one. It tries to show a third option: the Spinoza’s idea about Man as an improvable being.

Key words

Spinoza - Theological assumptions - Human Nature - Schmitt
