La justicia como ente de imaginación en la ontología política de Spinoza

The issues addressed here are part of a broader research project on the relationships among justice, sedition, and political order in the political philosophy of Baruch Spinoza. The problem begins with an opposition between notions of justice associated with sedition and those proper to the state, arguing that Spinoza prioritizes political order and conceives justice as intelligible only from within the civil state (TP 2/23). In order to answer the question of why seditions cannot be considered just, this paper focuses on clarifying what this philosopher understands by justice.
