Spinoza and process ontology

In this paper, I put forward some remarks supporting a reading of Spinoza's metaphysics in terms of process ontology, that is, the notion that processes or activities, rather than things, are the most basic entities. I suggest that this reading, while not the only possible one, offers advantages over the traditional substance-properties interpretation. While this claim may sound implausible vis-à-vis Spinoza's language of 'substance' and 'attributes', I show that process ontology illuminates important features of Spinoza's thought and can facilitate solutions to some interpretive problems.
