 Spinoza’s account of the grounds of modality also presents an interesting challenge to anyone attracted to the thesis that God grounds possibilities, but who wants to deny that God directly exemplifies every possibility (Newlands 2016). Those unhappy with Spinoza’s expansive divine nature would need to explain how it is that God grounds some possibilities, such as being extended, without actually being extended. One could follow Descartes in harkening back to the Scholastic notion of “eminent” containment, but Spinoza reads that appeal as the name of the problem, not its solution. Leibniz was sometimes attracted to the idea that every basic creaturely possibility is formed from God’s non-mental perfections, but he has a very hard time explaining how every creaturely possibility can be constructed out of the sparse set of traditional divine perfections.
