English commentary: "Spinoza, following Machiavelli, and followed by Marx in the "accursed line" of modern political philosophy, showed the way to a historical theory of the State which places it in the order of nature, not as a solid reality, but as an imaginary entity, an 'ens imaginationis'.'' (p. 108)
