In Part II, Spinoza maintains that there is nothing more to will than individual acts of volition. Thus will is not a "faculty" of God (and this holds for "intellect" as well). It might be objected that without choice, God is not free. Because they follow necessarily from God's essence, things cannot be otherwise than what they are, and this is a limitation of God's power.

On the other hand, the real possibility of translation -- the translatability that emerges in the movement of difference as a fundamental property of languages -- points to a risk to be assumed: that of the strong, forceful translati...
