Abstract

The present work analyzes the diverse forms of love in the work of Spinoza according to the different genres of knowledge and the type of object loved, establishing a clear contrast between the passionate love of finite things and the intellectual love of God, understood as the force vivifying, which is the immanent cause of all things, comparing our author with his more immediate antecedents, especially with the Neo-Platonic Jew Leo Hebreo, the neoestoicism and Renato Descartes.
