This book is a systematic study of Descartes' theory of causation and its relation to the medieval and early modern scholastic philosophy that provides its proper historical context. The argument presented here is that even though Descartes offered a dualistic ontology that differs radically from what we find in scholasticism, his views on causation were profoundly influenced by scholastic thought on this issue.
Tad M. Schmaltz is Professor of Philosophy at the University of Michigan.

Schmaltz has given us a vivid new conception of what Descartes intended as a philosopher, where he succeeded, and where he failed. |s Geoffrey Gorham, Dialogue |d 24/08/2012
