Un'eredità spinoziana. Questioni "postume" di spinozismo a partire dalle lettere di Pieter Van Gent a Tschirnhaus

Moving from the new book by Proietti and Licata about the
correspondence between Van Gent and Tschirnhaus, this essay aims to point out
some questions related to the early diffusion of Spinoza's thought. In Van Gent's letters
some important problems that have already arisen in Spinoza's correspondence
with Schuller and Tschirnhaus come in light, including the nature of the attributes, the
relationship between thought and matter and the immortality of soul. These issues
show that materialism was one of the first interpretations of Spinoza's philosophy.
