This article examines how major philosophical systems - although at first entangled with abstract matters such as Plato’s and Spinoza’s theological and metaphysical theories – are somehow finally inclined towards social and political issues that validate an affirmation about Plato in the sense that he came to philosophy by and for politics. In this respect, it can be seen how Spinoza, in his rise to an understanding of divine nature, methodically descends to human reasoning in order to lay the groundwork forhuman freedom on divine freedom, implying that he would never abandon knowledge of his participation in that supreme immanent nature. God’s intellectual love enabled Spinoza to engage in an open confrontation with the dogmatic political and religious powers that prevailed in his time, in defense of freedom of thought and divine nature - of which this is merely one of its infinite attributes - despite the then-existing ideological determination of viewing the state as a sacred entity that was built by the communal will of men according to a certain divine mandate. Hence, it is a political intervention that appropriates and makes use of the power of the dominant ideology, from which Spinoza arose as one of the founding thinkers of modernity.
