Abstract
The present work analizes the doctrine of the ‘idea of the idea’ and the critique of the conception of ideas as mute images in the second part of The Ethics in order to show the way in which the spinozist conception of certainty is linked with the elaboration of a an epistemology which does not serve as an organon for the increase of knowledge but instead provides the recognition of an already possesed certainty as well as the consequent abandonment of a mistaken conception in regard to the nature of ideas.
