English commentary: "Negation is fogeign to Spinoza's universe. Negation in any of its various names is always secondary and mus be justified. However, the positivity of the substance is different from the positivity of the modes, since substance and modes move in two irreducibel ontological registers. Humans are finite modes and therefore fall within the scope of diachrony (duration) but they are also able to consider infinity and synchrony (eternity). Such oscillations between the ephimeral and the timeless, between the particular and the universal allow them to understand not only themselves but also the structure of being in a rational way (which by the way can free them from superstition, whether theological of teleological)." (Abstract, p. 299)
