Natura naturata is a Latin term coined in the middle ages, mainly used by Baruch Spinoza meaning "Nature natured", or "Nature already created". The term adds the suffix for the Latin past participle to created "natured. The term describes a passive God, and is contrasted with the second part of Spinoza's dichotomy, Natura naturans, meaning "nature naturing, or "nature in the active sense". To Spinoza, Nature and God were one in the same. (See:Spinoza's God and Nature).
