NARVAEZ, Mario. Uno intuitu videmus: the Nature of Intuitive Knowledge in Spinoza in the Light of Descartes. Rev. latinoam. filos. [online]. 2017, vol.43, n.2, pp.159-181. ISSN 1852-7353.

Generally, critics had tackle the issue of intuition in Spinoza’s philosophy from the point of view of the problem of what in the Ethics is called intuitive science or third kind of knowledge. In the present paper, instead, we try to show that there is in Spinoza`s writings a wider concept of intuition than that which is implied in the intuitive science, being the later no more than a sub-kind of the former. As a previous step to achieve this target, we try to show that Spinoza`s conception of intuition is narrowly tied with the Cartesian conception -of which we offer a brief draft in the first part- and that both conceptions are based on the nature of the idea.

Keywords : Intuition; Idea; Knowledge; Kinds of knowledge; Intuitive science.
