Abstract

The influence of Niccolò Machiavelli on the philosophy of Baruch Spinoza is evident in the
mentions made by the Dutch thinker in his Political Treatise. In this work, we want to expose
some aspects that would allow to delineate the identification of a central problem in
Spinoza's ontology, such as the relationship between necessity and contingency, and that
seems to be present in the political thought of the Florentine. Likewise, we propose to determine those links that allow us to conclude in a relational reading of immanence and
that allow us to establish a continuity between both thinkers.
