Descrição
Resumo:The article shows how it is possible to examine the problem of the essence of language in the thought of Spinoza. First, it shows how Spinoza detaches the notions of essence and universal. Spinoza links the notion of essence with that of singularity. Second, the article presents the internal or necessary bond that exists between an essence and the existence in act of an individual. On this basis, the paper shows that the notion of language belongs to the class of individuals, and that the essence of a language lies in its use, that is, use is the trace of the effort of an individual language to maintain its existence indefinitely.
