Los ojos del alma: lo evidente en Spinoza y Husserl

Abstract

The following text seeks to clarify the nature of the evident and of demonstration in Husserl and Spinoza, through a reflection on the former’s metaphor according to which demonstrations are the eyes of the soul. A dialogue between Husserl and Spinoza is established around topics such as the direct intuition of essences, the intrinsic veracity of adequate ideas, objective idealities, or the relationship between thought and language.
