Resumo

The article discusses both (i) the affinities between Vauvenargues and Spinoza, and (ii) the way Laurent Bove examines this relationship. To counter all the attempts made by Vauvenargues to hoodwink his readers and, especially the censorship of his time, Bove sets out with the aim of reconstructing the philosopher´s concealed metaphysical premises. As we explore Vauvenargues’ philosophy (in which Pascal plays a major role), it becomes clear that the conceptual twists and turns of the Provençal writer are aimed at advocating a kind of philosophy which recognizes the value of finite, (the ontological condition of mankind) – and that this is a type of Spinozism.
