Abstract

In expressed continuity with our doctoral research, this project aims to clarify some of the main senses that must have the concepts of conflict and resistance in the political context of the work of Spinoza. The two concepts, interwoven with each other, will be developed here on a route that goes from the analysis of the scope of these concepts in political philosophy of Spinoza (about to prove instrumental in the genesis and maintenance of a political body) to the question about the role of political resistance that has critical thinking and reflective, as we apprehend from their works.
