Will, God, Homo Faber

It is well-recognized that Spinoza's identification of God and Nature entails one of 'supernatural' and 'natural', and of 'metaphysical' and 'physical', even if studies of Spinoza do not always reflect the latter. Less appreciated seems to be the identification of another traditional dichotomy involving Nature--'natural' and 'artificial', a myopia perhaps due to the general lack of enthusiasm for Pantheism. Regardless, insofar as humans are Modes of God, Homo Faber is an expression of divine creativity, and the world that humans manufacture is an expression of divine attributes. For example, Will, i. e. Modal Motility, is a micro-cosmic instance of God's self-extending power.
