 With respect to (5), Spinoza suggests that there are more and less complete ways of genuinely conceiving objects (see, for instance, Ip24d and IVd3–4). Indeed, on the functional account of Spinoza’s ontology mentioned in section 2 above, finite modes just are incomplete ways of expressing or conceiving God. So unless Spinoza thinks there are no finite modes, he had better not think that expressive or conceptual incompleteness by itself entails falsity.  [16]
