LOPEZ, Alberto Luis. An approach to the influence of Seneca in Spinoza’s philosophy. Sig. Fil [online]. 2020, vol.22, n.43, pp.34-57.  Epub Apr 25, 2022. ISSN 1665-1324.

It is important in philosophy to know the influences between philosophers because of that it depends to have an accurate and more complete knowledge of their proposals. An example of this are the investigations about the stoics origins of Spinoza’s philosophy, which has been increasing in the last decades but it is still necessary to inquire in greater detail, author by author and idea by idea, what kind of stoicism and what part of it influenced the Dutch philosopher. In this paper I examine, particularly from explicit references, the influence of the Stoic Seneca in Spinoza’s philosophy, for which I review, analyze, and compare several passages of both philosophers’ works.

Keywords : ethics; political philosophy; wisdom; happiness; death.
