Resumen
Fortitudo animi is the notion that substitutes the classic virtue of phrónesis or prudence in Spinoza’s Ethics. Its practical function consists in finding a way through towards the eudaemonist self-fulfillment of the self, starting from the presence of the other and given their conditions of immanence. It is a process that concludes in the ‘Third Kind of Knowledge’ from the Fifth and Last Part of the Ethics. Thus stated, Spinoza’s Ethics of immanence assumes the overcome of the false disjunctive currently established between Heidegger’s nihilist ontology and Levinas’ ethics of otherness.
