Spinoza and Nietzsche have promoted a critical analysis of the current morality; both rose to discover the untruth of the conception of transcendent values. For Nietzsche, such discovery leads him to determine the creation of values as an imperative task of the new philosophers. Could the same be applied to Spinoza? In the Spinozism, could we not find something similar to a need for creation of values? We have tried to answer these questions mainly analyzing the beginning of On the improvement of the understanding.
