Caute, o emblema de Espinosa


Cautelosamente, batemos à porta do filósofo, com receio de interromper a sua meditação solitária. Ao abrir-nos a porta, reparamos no anel que lhe assenta num dos dedos: é a sua marca pessoal, onde se lê, para além das iniciais do seu nome, a palavra latina caute.
À primeira vista, parece que o filósofo quer apenas proteger-se das acusações de heresia que a comunidade judaica lhe poderá dirigir. Não é esse o maior intuito da divisa espinosiana caute. Ela enquadra-se na reforma do entendimento, que aconselha ao filósofo usar de prudência nos pensamentos e na vida. O que o homem vulgar procura – os prazeres efémeros – acaba por perturbar o entendimento no seu caminho para a perfeição. No entanto, como o filósofo não pode deixar de viver em sociedade, ele próprio tem que se adaptar e falar e agir de acordo com o saber comum, procurar os prazeres e bens materiais indispensáveis para perseverar no seu ser, em suma, manter-se em paz com os costumes da sociedade, mas sem nunca perder de vista o fim último da “fruição eterna da suprema e contínua alegria”, que só o verdadeiro bem pode proporcionar.
O conhecimento que leva à perfeição acaba por ser, assim, uma experiência íntima que o filósofo persegue em solidão, do ponto de vista intelectual. Faz parte da sua sabedoria mostrar prudência quando se trata de exteriorizar os seus pensamentos, ele não tem necessidade de se impor nem de se exibir.
Espinosa dissimula, Espinosa oculta-se, e é lá na eternidade que o podemos procurar. Cautelosamente.

Desde já, um breve comentário só para dizer que fico contente de a participação efectiva no blog estar a alargar-se... "filósofos" de todas as orientações, só mais um esforço!
Depois, elogiar esta estreia sob a chancela do "Príncipe dos filósofos", que vem despertar os nossos corações de filósofos ou, pelo menos, de amigos da filosofia (salvo a redundância) para outro esquecido e, no entanto, incontornável pensador moderno.
Quanto a mim, o convite produziu imediatamente frutos. Fui logo pegar nesse Tratado da Reforma do Entendimento que tinha na prateleira (ao lado de tantos outros) à espera de ser lido. A leitura dos primeiros parágrafos revelou-me que a deveria ter feito antes, pois, ou muito me engano, ou serão importantes para a investigação que começo a desenvolver. Mais uma vez, portanto, obrigado, Caute, e bem hajam as futuras contribuições.
