O autômato espiritual na filosofia de Espinosa Implicações de uma ontologia imanentista no plano do conhecimento científico

The aim of the present text is to make known certain implications of Spinoza’s immanentist ontology in relation to his conception of scientific knowledge, in particular his conception of the spiritual automaton. From this position, notions such as substance, immanent cause, genetic definition are revised, notions that document our reflection on Spinoza’s conception of science in which the ideia and the figure of truth reflects the identity or inwardness between the dimensions of being and knowing, between the object and subject of knowledge.
