Abstract
The present work covers the Treatise on the Reform of Understanding from the starting point of the difference between understanding and imagination. This itinerary tries to assess the essential difference between the true idea and the ideas of our imagination, where the functions of both faculties are discriminated and where Spinoza’s epistemology is founded, based on the theory of parallelism.
