Abstract (EN)

While the Seventeenth century represents a break from tradition, on the other hand, it is built a new and modern subject. This novelty is essential to repositioned existance, epistomology and ethic, which are philosophy fields. Spinoza's, who is a philosopher of the age, philosopy also represent both tradition and modern features. In this sense, Spinoza is building her philosopy on the relationship between knowledge and ethics, which are on the basis of existance. We are study to the ethics and knowledge with their connection of Spinoza in this thesis. Owing that the ethics of Spinoza is a awareness ethics, the knowledge is a pre-requisite for being morality. In this way, while we study the knowledge, firstly we take into consideration Spinoza's method, definition, structure and types of knowledge, and then we detect an ultimate target for human, as a awareness being. Similarly, when we study ethics, we mention to moral values, the nature of passion, before we try to understand and determine the ultimate target for human, as a moral being. Finally, considering to priority of knowledge for ethics, we try to criticize after the morality, get rid of passion and freedom, an ultimate tarrget for human, as a awareness (and morality) being. In this sense,we try to indicate that the ethics of Spinoza is a "adequate knowledge for accurate action", which is direct the human being to love of God. Key Words: Knowledge, Ethic, The relationship between Knowledge and Ethics, Passion, Freedom,
