Spinozism and Creativism

Qua 'natura naturans', Spinoza's God is clearly a creator, and as self-causing, is a self-creative process. Hence, its creation of a Mode is, at the same time, a self-creative event. Now, according to Spinoza, Modal behavior is either partly or completely active, i. e. he defines 'passive' behavior as at least partly active, and 'active' behavior is an instance of the divine process. Thus, active Modal behavior is self-creative, a characteristic that is only weakly expressed by his definition of the 'actual essence' of a Mode as 'the endeavor to persist in its own being'. Now, it was previously proposed here that either Spinoza's system is inadequately interpreted as 'Creativist', or that it is an underdeveloped Creativism. The foregoing argument demonstrates the latter thesis.
