Research title
The problem of superstition - an analysis of the Appendix to part I. De Deo of Spinoza's Ethics
Research abstract
The present research is interested in understanding superstition, its cause, its involvement and its consequent effects. To do this, consider the Appendix to Part I (De Deo) of Spinoza's Ethics, together with some notes from the preface to the Theological-Political Treatise, to understand this dynamic that involves superstitious thinking and vision. And from such an analysis, it allows us to launch notes to illuminate other aspects of Spinoza's thought on the subject, and contribute to the critical fortune of Spinoza's studies.
