One of the most important Spinoza's theses is the parallelism, mainly between soul and body.Everything which happens with the body should correspond with events in the soul.Dying the body, thus, the soul would cease also to exist."But a better part of the mind remains" -the philosopher will affirm, in an astonishing way.We go through the interpretations of Steven Nadler and Donald Rutheford, one of a more metaphysical approach and other of a more affective approach, to try to understand more about.It is a puzzling doctrine of Spinoza, which puts on hold the possibility of man's salvation.
