The purpose of this research is to analyse two distinct readings of Spinoza's metaphysics made by two great interpreters of the twentieth century: Curley and Wolfson. The first is treated through logical terms and the relation that the propositions of Spinoza's Ethics have among them, explaining the relationship between the author and Cartesianism of his time. The second is treated through a detailed philology of a tradition of texts prior to the author, explaining the relationship beteween Spinoza and the Jewish Medieval Aristotelian tradition.
