SICERONE, Daniel Alberto. The category of body in the Ethics of Baruch Spinoza: metaphysical and ethical interpretations. Andamios [online]. 2018, vol.15, n.37, pp.283-301. ISSN 2594-1917.

The purpose of this article is to base the category of body in the work Ethics of Baruch Spinoza, confronting this text from the metaphysical and ethical considerations that sustain it, as well as the introduction of Tatian and Deleuze’s interpretations on the notion of the body and its relationship with ethics. To this end, a biographical-political aspect that contextualizes the elaboration of this text and the importance of Spinoza’s critique of religions will be delimited, and then a double entry to the category of present body in Ethics. The first of these will be the one corresponding to metaphysics based on ontological monism, while the second will deal with the ethical aspect, that of the affections, which allows these categories to be transposed to the question of what can a body?.
