Spinoza and the true philosophy. A study from the receptions of Burgh, Steno and Leibniz
Abstract
This article addresses the question of philosophy, ideas and truth in Spinozian thought, as well as the way to access them. For this purpose, we trace a historical journey through a series of letters and commentaries by Burgh, Steno and Leibniz. This will allow us, on the one hand, to show the historical-philosophical relevance of the debate and, on the other hand, to support our hypothesis, according to which Spinoza would consider his philosophy as true because it is based on a conception of the very nature of ideas that does not grant a status of reality to error as such, since in Spinozian immanence there are no completely inadequate or false ideas.
