Abstract: In this article I intend to present an interpretation of the sense that Spinoza ascribes to the concept of ‘will’, showing how he moved away from the concept that the tradition had this concept, and what is the role that it plays in geometric deductions used in their statements. Finally, taking into account the first two books of his Ethics, I want to clarify to what extent the concept of ‘will’ made it possible both the demonstration of knowledge and freedom.
