Some philosophers think physical
explanations stand on their own: what
happens, happens because things have the
properties they do. Others think that any
such explanation is incomplete: what happens
in the physical world must be partly due
to the laws of nature. Causation and Laws
of Nature in Early Modern Philosophy
examines the debate between these
views from Descartes to Hume.
Ott
argues that the competing models
of causation in the period grow out of
the scholastic notion of power. On this
Aristotelian view, the connection between
cause and effect is logically necessary.
Causes are intrinsically directed at what
they produce. But when the Aristotelian view
is faced with thechallengeof mechanism, the
core notion of a power splits into two models,
each of which persists throughout the early
modern period. It is only when seen in this
light that the key arguments of the period
can reveal their true virtues and flaws.
To make his case,
Ott
explores such
central topics as intentionality, the varieties
of necessity, and the nature of relations.
Arguing for controversial readings of many
of the canonical figures, the book also
focuses on lesser-known writers such as
Pierre-Sylvain Régis,
Nicolas
Malebranche,
and Robert Boyle.
