Resumen
Descripción
En este trabajo centrado en la Ética se resaltará la dimensión de alteridad de la esencia del ser humano y, por lo tanto, en el caso de Spinoza, de la noción de deseo. A partir de esta alteridad constitutiva, el modo dicotómico de pensar lo social y lo individual es reconsiderado mediante un deseo que, sin dejar de ser singular, es y persevera en relación con los demás. Con el fin de no reducir la noción de deseo a una de sus expresiones, se distinguirá entre las diversas formas del deseo, en particular el anhelo (desiderium), y el deseo-cupiditas. Asimismo se perfilará la noción de un deseo de razón en contraste con las figuras de la impotencia. Las vías abiertas conducen a la valoración de un pensador que nos legó una noción de deseo que implica simultáneamente afirmación y codependencia, insertándolo en debates éticos, políticos y psicológicos actuales.
Centered on the Ethics, this work underlines the otherness that is present in human essence or, what is the same to Spinoza, human desire. From this constitutive otherness, the dichotomous way of thinking the individual and the social will be reconsidered thanks to a desire that maintains its singularity and at the same time is and perseveres in relation to others. With the aim of not reducing the notion of desire to one of its expression, this paper distinguishes between the different forms of desire, particularly longing (desiderium), and the basic desire-cupiditas. Likewise, it studies the notion of the desire of reason in contrast to the figures of impotence. The aspects discussed will lead to an assessment of a thinker that bequeathed to us a notion of desire that implies simultaneously affirmation and codependency, inserting Spinoza in current ethical, political and psychological debates.
