Intradesiderative tension in Spinoza: Attempts about 'desiderium'

Abstract

Spinoza is a philosopher that, in the height seventeen century, propose a not only an emendation of intellect, but also, by and for this, one of desire. This notion apparead on Ethics also with the notion of cupiditas, man’s essence, synonime of potence, action and virtue, but also with desiderium, whose more usual translation is also the one of desire, but, under the interpretative specter of his work, has been translated in Spanish with termes as frustration, wish, longing, nostalgia. It is pretended to stablish here the conceptual distintion between both terms and also putting, in an attemptive way, the ontological, ethical and political consecuences of desiderium affect as the basis to think the propriety as possession -in vinculation with love- in the Ehics frame.
