Research Abstract	In this Research I would try to understand Spinoza's theory of Conatus. For this purpose I would examine Spinoza's philosophy of nature through 17th European philosophy and science. The property of Spinoza's philosophy signifies that Spinoza's philosophy has character of phenomenon of power and Conatus. Spinoza's recognition of epistemological and ethical reality is based on his theory of Conatus. And Spinoza's philosophical method signifies the reflexive knowledge of reality.
