eternity, duration, Spinoza, duality, univocityAbstract
The purpose of this paper is to support the thesis that the Spinozian notions of eternity and duration cannot be considered as ontological but rather as gnoseological, unlike Spinoza’s readings throughout history. To accomplish this, it analyze the three kinds of human knowledge -imagination, reason, intuitive science- to show that Spinoza presents his actions as those which give rise to the perspectives of eternity and duration. These movements allow us to understand that duality, by being gnoseological, does not represent an objection to ontological univocity. At the same time, it allows us to investigate in greater depth the Spinozian philosophical project and the role knowledge occupies in it.
