Resumen
The first aim of this article is to show that there are in Kant at least two approaches to the reading of Spinoza’s philosophy: one which can be termed ‘cosmological’ and the other ‘ontological’.
Following the first approach, Spinoza’s thought can be traced, as Omri Boehm has said, in the antitheses of the antinomies of the first Critique; whereas, in the second approach, Spinoza cannot be identified as being representative of the antitheses of the antinomies, because his philosophy denies series of any kind and, hence, the very possibility of something like a ‘world’. The paper then focuses on Kant’s concept of totality and seeks to show that a comparison between Kant and Spinoza is essential to understanding the critical notion of “das Ganze”.
