English commentary: "I contend that Spinoza's moral philosophy not only develops an account of (constitutive) relational autonomy, but it also introduces a further distinction between a 'quantitiative' dimension of autonomy (i.e. the capacity of an agent to be more or less autonomous) and a 'qualitative' dimension of autonomy (i.e. the capacity of an agent to develop better or worse forms of autonomy). I argue that this distinction is important to deal with particularly hard cases that are addressed in the contemporary debate." (p. 195)
