Resumen
Descripción
Spinoza está lejos del llamado pensamiento narrativo y prefiere el conocimiento atemporal de la razón. Sin embargo, la complejidad de la vida humana requiere otras formas de aproximación que permitan entenderla en su particular y a menudo contingente contexto desde el punto de vista del sujeto. Por todo ello, el autor permite -aunque sea en segundo plano- un tratamiento flexible de los asuntos prácticos, lo que incluye diversos aspectos narrativos que preparan y extienden la racionalidad. Tal es el caso del estudio genealógico de los fenómenos, el debate político, los aprendizajes derivados de la experiencia, la educación, la biografía psicofísica, el uso de técnicas de sugestión y visualización, etc. Una vez más, se trata de sumar herramientas que permitan desarrollar una vida lúcida y dichosa.

Therefore, the author permits -even though in a second scheme- a flexible treatment of practical issues, that includes various narrative aspects which make ready and extend rationality. Such is the case of genealogical study of phenomena, political debate, also the learning derived from experience, education, psychophysics biography, the use of suggestion and visualization techniques, etc. Once again, it is about adding tools to develop a lucid and joyful life.
