Resumen
NARVAEZ, Mario A.. La perfección humana como hedonismo geométrico: conocimiento, método y virtud en la ética racionalista de Spinoza. Tópicos [online]. 2022, n.44, e0013. ISSN 1666-485X. http://dx.doi.org/https://doi.org/10.14409/topicos.2022.44.e0013.
Spinoza’s methodological treatise, called Tractatus intellectus emendatione, introduces the reader with a declaration of a purely ethical objective, the obtaining of happiness. This happiness, identified with virtue, is also the ultimate goal of philosophy. It is evident, then, that there is a relationship between method and ethics. But its nature is not clear enough. Thus, it is worth asking: is this a relationship that may present some kind of philosophical interest in understanding of Spinoza’s ethical theory or is it merely an accidental relationship? In other words, do methodological procedure have a constitutive function in the search of virtue or is it only a mediate relationship lacking in philosophical interest? In the present paper we propose to inquire which is the nature of this relationship starting from the hypothesis that it have a philosophical interest which needs clarification. To this end, we will address other questions about the relationship between virtue and knowledge, specially about the way in which such relationship appears raised in Spinoza’s Ethics.
