 What does this infinite thought amount to? In one sense, it is simply an endorsement of the traditional doctrine of divine omniscience. In Spinoza’s framework, this doctrine becomes the claim that, as a thinking thing (i.e., a substance with the attribute of thought) God necessarily produces an “infinite idea”, that is, an infinite modification of God’s nature as a thinking thing (E2p1, E2p3, E2p7c). This infinite idea is a complete and veridical representation of everything that is, every bit of reality (E2p32). (Spinoza also calls this infinite mode an “infinite intellect” [E2p11c], seemingly without distinguishing the two terms.)
