Abstract

In the scholium of the proposition iv18, addressing the solu-tions against human impotence and inconstancy, Spinoza states the mutual utility between two men favoring their powers of acting as a solution to servitude. This favoring is enabled by the many things men have in com-mon between them, which make possible not only the relations that in-crease power, when men are led by reason, but also those that decrease this power, in which men are subjected to passions, being able to be contrary and harmful to each other. However, despite the ambivalence of those re-lations provided by the common, the utility of social life is still claimed as a way of mutual favoring between men when they are led by reason and by the foundation of the Civitas, which institutes a middle term between the passional and the rational dimension of men
