We will deal here with the relationship between Spinoza and Butler with regard to the affective constitution of every body. We will see how, for Butler, the life of the individual is presented in conditions of precariousness and vulnerability and, for Spinoza, in a constant state of soul fluctuation in which external causes affect us in a way that can often involve our own disintegration. We will see how both philosophies converge on this point. We will also attend to Butler's interpretation of the Spinozian concept of conatus and “desire” as the very nature of every human individual.
