Abstract

[Should you look for Spinoza’s complete system, you cannot find it in the most important of his works, the Ethics. This work is not the complete emendation by the supreme grade of knowledge of all the relevant empirical data (or of the common order of nature, which is the worldview of the first grade of knowledge, i.e., imaginatio). Moreover, it lacks even the complete method or the full list of the a priori principles that Spinoza’s philosophy requires and which pertains to ratio, the second grade of knowledge. In fact, the Ethics rests upon imaginatio and ratio and it refers to or describes some part of the supreme grade of knowledge (i.e., scientia intuitiva), but this essential information about this supreme grade of knowledge does not provide us with even one example of this grade of knowledge. In other words, there is not even one proposition in the Ethics that pertains to scientia inutitiva.]
