Abstract
In this article, we will outline an analysis regarding the use of the phrase „spiritual good” in philosophical language to designate the idea in the realm of copyright. The analysis will have a legal dimension, followed by a metaphorical one in order to understand. We will consider the dichotomy idea – artistic expression that underpins the act of intellectual
creation; the idea does not benefit from copyright protection, while the original expression of the idea is protected. In this construct, if the work is considered an incorporeal good, could the phrase „spiritual good” explain the abstract reality of the idea, which is the basis of the creation of a work?
