Parallelism and Techne
Spinoza's Parallelism is sometimes conceived as a theory of Cognition--a correspondance between the Sensory and Intellectual aspects of Perception. It is also sometimes conceived as a theory of Events--a correspondance between their Causal and Rational aspects. But it is rarely conceived as a theory of Action. So, rarely recognized is its plain exemplification in Techne, e. g. in the following of a set of instructions, constituted by a sequence of physical motions that correspond to a plan. Accordingly, since human Action is a Mode of divine creativity in Spinoza's system, rarely even considered is that Techne is a Mode of the Thought-Extension parallel attributes of Spinoza's God, the dynamic natures of which are better rendered as Thinking and Extending.
