Abstract
The aim of this paper is to determine what presence has the Ancient thought in the Spinoza´s philosophy and what role performs in this one. The second aim, more specific, consists of specifying what current of Ancient thought has had the most influence in the Spinozian philosophy. And all this, taking mainly into consideration one of the main trains of Spinoza´s thought, that is, his theory of passions. The methodology consists of analyzing the explicit references that we find in the Spinoza´s work to authors or currents of Ancient thought. In this respect, this paper maintains that Stoicism is one of the main sources of Spinoza´s theory of passions. And specially, it is true if we think in the Seneca´s Stoicism.Downloads
