520 1 |a "Tad Schmaltz presents a systematic study of Descartes's theory of causation and its relation to the medieval and early modern scholastic philosophy that provides its historical context." "In contrast to those who have read Descartes as endorsing the "occasionalist" conclusion that God is the only real cause, Schmaltz argues that Descartes accepted what, in the context of scholastic debates regarding causation, is the antipode of occasionalism: namely, the view that creatures rather than God are the causal source of natural change. What emerges is a new understanding of Descartes's contribution to modern thought on causation. Schmaltz's carefully argued and convincing work should appeal to all scholars of early modern philosophy."--Jacket.
