Abstract

With this article, we present some political scope of Spinoza's thought about the body. We believe that Spinoza is one of the first philosophers of modernity that deals with thinking the body in politics, because of that breaks up with the classical assumption of the opposition between body and soul as two substances that make the man, where the soul is the part essential. However, for Spinoza the body is so constitutive of the human as the soul, «soul and body are one and the same thing», thereby we can appreciate, in part, the novelty of his thinking.
