My goal in this article is to analyze the argumentative steps by which Spinoza
introduces, in the Tratise on the Emendation of the Intellect, the expression
"Doctrina de puerorum Educatione". Although this is not a concept directly
and carefully developed by Espinosa, it is possible, upon that analysis, to
reconstruct it’s function in the Tratise’s prologue. By means of this
reconstruction, I defend that such doctrine must necessarily be guided by the
pedagogical principle of “to follow the error”, consistent with the radically
immanentist Espinosa’s system.
