Abstract
Concerning the disputed doctrine of the eternity of mind in Spinoza's Ethics, the article argues that (1) Spinoza holds indeed the eternity or immortality of a part of the human mind, (2) that he holds a type of individual eternity and (3) that all this is completely coherent within his general approach. Several difficulties are resolved especially by distinguishing between the concept of a self as given to an epistemic subject and an ‚objective‘ self as produced by God.
