Abstract

This paper proposes a reflective journey through Spinoza's texts, to discuss the relationship between politics and imagination. This relationship produces, in fact, forms of representation and self-representation falling upon the shape and organization of a community policy. From the imagination nature, as it is described in the Ethics of Spinoza, and through the Jewish example exposure, Spinoza shows a particular idea of politics and history that opens to a critique of ideology and connects the human representation of reality with the domain possibilities of natural necessity, areas that can be expanded through a balance between human communities and nature.
