PENA, Javier. Republic, freedom and democracy in Spinoza. Co-herencia [online]. 2018, vol.15, n.28, pp.155-180. ISSN 1794-5887. https://doi.org/10.17230/co-herencia.15.28.7.
The main objective of this paper is to show the value of reading Spinoza's political philosophy from a republican point of view. Spinoza’s political theory incorporates lexical elements, concepts and problems taken from republicanism, which he transforms according to the metaphysical foundations of his philosophy and the Dutch context of his time. We can understand better the sense and reach of such a theory if we locate Spinoza in the republican tradition. After a brief characterization of Dutch republicanism, the paper shows how the basic themes and concepts of republicanism are present in the Theologico-Political Treatise and the Political Treatise. It focuses, especially, on the concept of freedom, key for the proposal of a democratic republic.
