Descrizione

In this article, I intend to investigate the notion of God’s love in Descartes and Spinoza to highlight its differences. God’s love in Descartes is investigated by examining the letter to Chanut of 1647 and in the Passions of the Soul. While in Descartes the passion of love preserves the character of the union of the part with the whole, in the Ethics of Spinoza, it loses this characterization in order not to lose the ontological distinction between the human being and the infinite substance. Moreover, since in Spinoza God’s love is an effect of the third kind of knowledge, it has no connection with the imagination. In Descartes, however, God’s love as passion maintains an essential relationship with imaginative activity.
