ABSTRACT In this paper, I argue that Spinoza’s political theory gives us a model for how he might have approached a treatise on moral education. Indeed, his account of the method and aims of politics resembles Renaissance humanist rhetorical approaches to pedagogy – particularly, the work of sixteenth century Spanish humanist Juan Luis Vives – so strongly that it is hardly an exaggeration conclude that, for him, politics is education writ large. For Spinoza and for Vives, the governor-or-instructor must study the prevailing character, or ingenium, of the subject and adopt means that promote the cognitive and emotional development of the subject, which can be accomplished only to the extent that subjects willingly participate in their own governance-or-instruction. Spinoza joins this rhetorical procedure to a Hobbesian scientific approach to studying ingenia, resulting in a political method that is part science, part art.

政治作为斯宾诺莎教学法的典范

摘要在本文中，我认为斯宾诺莎的政治理论为我们提供了一个范式，说明他可能如何着手关于道德教育的论文。的确，他对政治方法和目标的叙述类似于文艺复兴时期的人文主义教育学修辞方法，尤其是十六世纪西班牙人文主义者胡安·路易斯·维夫斯的著作，如此强烈，以至于几乎不夸张地说，对他而言，政治是教育令状大。对于Spinoza和Vives，总督或讲师必须研究受试者的主要特征或才能，并采取促进受试者认知和情感发展的手段，只有在受试者自愿参与的范围内才能实现在他们自己的治理或指令中。
