Abstract

The article approaches the relationship established by Espinosa between ethical life based on the practice of virtue and divine beatitude, either by the path of religion or even philosophy, in counterpoint to the obscurantist powers of sects that promote the most demeaning conditions to drive man away from genuine sacred happiness in life.
