The Concept of Duration in Spinoza's Ethics
Abstract
The aim of this article is to analyze Spinoza's concept of duration. Showing the difference in relation to some previous works, it is of interest to interrogate this notion in the context of the immanence of potency and of necessary being as eternal being that follow from the ontology of the Ethics. Our purpose is to show that in this work our author's perspective is completely independent of the perspective adopted superficially in the Metaphysical Thoughts, and that it makes duration appear with other characteristics and analyzed in terms of another problematic, more linked to ethics and the correct way of living.
