The body, the device, the sleepwalkers. On the spinozian uses of experience as a critics of the cartesian concept of freedom
Keywords:
Spinoza, Descartes, freedom, experience, power, will
Abstract
In this paper I discuss one of the most significant strategies in Spinoza’s theoretical approach against those that entrave its understanding in a very powerful way. As well as Descartes, Spinoza uses the inmediate or unreflexive experience for developing his conception of free will or the distinction between body and soul, but he does so in order to prove that the experience is useful to demonstrate some purely anti-Cartesian thesis that express the core principles of Spinozism.Downloads
