 That concession might seem like too high an interpretive price to pay, especially since there is no independent reason to think Spinoza rejects the demands of the PSR when applied to the entire series of finite modes. It would be nice if Spinoza could accept an unrestricted version of the PSR and still preserve the claim in Ip28d that particular finite modes do not follow from infinite modes or the absolute nature of God without recreating the problematic gap. In the next section, we’ll consider an attempt to do just that. A consequence of this alternative reading will be that Spinoza endorses full-blown necessitarianism.
