Abstract

This paper seeks to move away from the traditional readings of the Spinozian concepts of essence and existence, to provide an interpretation of these based on a hypothesis that I call the onto-gnoseological reading. Usually, these concepts of essence and existence are understood as either of an ontological character, or they are totally ignored. The goal of this paper is to demonstrate that throughout his work Spinoza links the notions of essence and existence to human ways of knowing and not to ontological strata. This gnoseological resignification of the concepts allows us to understand Spinoza’s philosophical project in a deeper way. It becomes clear that it is a project in which the gnoseological duality not only coexist in a totally coherent way with the univocity of the real, but is rather absolutely necessary as a tool to recognize the limits and scope of human knowledge, and the consequent possibility of accessing human virtue.
