In this light, the Principles of Philosophy might be viewed as an "exercise in geometric method and philosophy", paving the way for numerous concepts and conclusions that would define his philosophy (see Cogitata Metaphysica).<sup id="cite_ref-FOOTNOTEShirley2002109_133-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEShirley2002109-133"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>130<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading4"><h4 id="Metaphysics">Metaphysics</h4><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Baruch_Spinoza&action=edit&section=16" title="Edit section: Metaphysics"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p>Spinoza's <a href="/wiki/Metaphysics" title="Metaphysics">metaphysics</a> consists of one thing, substance, and its modifications (modes).

Jaspers believed that Spinoza, in his philosophical system, did not mean to say that God and Nature are interchangeable terms, but rather that God's transcendence was attested by his infinitely many attributes, and that two attributes known by humans, namely Thought and Extension, signified God's immanence.<sup id="cite_ref-ts64_174-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-ts64-174"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>171<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> Even God under the attributes of thought and extension cannot be identified strictly with our world.

And if the mark of a personal being is that it is one towards which we can entertain personal attitudes, then we should note too that Spinoza recommends <i>amor intellectualis dei</i> (the intellectual love of God) as the supreme good for man (5p33). However, the matter is complex. Spinoza's God does not have free will (1p32c1), he does not have purposes or intentions (1 appendix), and Spinoza insists that "neither intellect nor will pertain to the nature of God" (1p17s1).
