| German commentary | "One of the last proposals of Spinoza’s Ethica (the 39th of the fifth part) says this : «Who has a body able to the greatest number of acts, has a mind whom the greatest part is eternal». In relation with what was said about the unit of body and mind since the second part, that proposal seems obvious : who has a powerful body will get some affects suitable to the mind’s order, hence will get a mind as powerful, that is to say eternal. However, such a proposal becomes curious when it is analysed from the point of view of salvation which, in the Ethica, as Beatitude or third kind’s knowledge, follows a only intellectual way. Would it be un other kind of salvation, a salvation by the body, what Spinoza doesn’t describe but what would get a spinozistic meaning ? And if we answer positively, how to obtain such a salvation by changing his body’s acts before his mind ? Here is the mean question of this issue." (abstract). |
