This article develops a brief account of how Jonathan Israel's historical-conceptual category ‘Radical Enlightenment’ has been received, exposing the shifts from the philosophical-political dimension to ideological rejection. Secondly, a relationship is established between the interpretative framework of the Radical Enlightenment and the materialist and immanentist foundations of Spinoza's philosophy. It ends with the relationship between Dussel's concept of ‘transmodernity’ and the reception of Spinoza's philosophy in Latin America as an affirmative encounter, as well as the theoretical-political effects that his thought produces.
