| description | The conclusion for existence of only one substance taked by Spinoza seems to be irreconcilable with the claims of Descartes’ metaphysics. For Descartes, the world is constituted of various substance, of wich some are extense and some are thinkers. The concept that tooked Descartes for this claim is the logical independence of this two kinds of substance. However, the Spinoza’s view is strongly diferent: there is only one substance and t it is God, because God is the only necessary being, that is, the only existing thing that exists with no support of any other thing. This diference between Spinoza and Descartes is so radical that Curley’s theory can’t be sustained. For Curley the Spinoza’s assertion is a kind of conclusion for the early development of cartesian system, and all theses of the dutch philosopher are derivates from the france one. The purpose of this work is to prove that both systems, of Spinoza and Descartes, are strictly opposites and there is no way to reconcile them. |
