In this contribution, we examine the legacy of “Spinozism’s most famous expression,” sub specie aeternitatis, in Wittgenstein’s thought: first, through the characterizations that the author of the Tractatus and the Ethics gives of philosophical thought as offering access to this sub specie aeternitatis perspective; then, by reconsidering its significance for Wittgenstein when he defines the work of art, and more specifically the dramaturgical work; and finally, by outlining the criticisms that Wittgenstein directs at the thought experiment on which Spinoza relies in the famous letter to Schuller. Each of these stages, in our view, highlights key dimensions of the Ethics and its application—dimensions that Bernard Pautrat has taught and, in so doing, demonstrated in all their significance and truth.
