Description

Explore how early modern philosophers from Descartes to Hume debated the foundations of physical causation and the role of natural laws. This Oxford University Press study examines two competing views: whether physical explanations stand complete through properties alone, or whether laws of nature are essential to understanding what happens in the physical world. Ott traces how these models of causation evolved from scholastic notions of power, grounded in Aristotelian logic where the connection between cause and effect becomes logically necessary. The book presents a comprehensive analysis of causation theory during a transformative period in philosophical thought, offering insights into how early modern thinkers reconciled ancient ideas with emerging scientific understanding.

Key Features

Examines causation debate spanning from Descartes through Hume in early modern philosophy.

Analyses competing models of causation rooted in scholastic notions of power and Aristotelian logic.
