"This book re-examines the roles of causation and cognition in early modern philosophy.
The standard historical narrative suggests that early modern thinkers abandoned Aristotelian
models of formal causation in favor of doctrines that appealed to relations of efficient
causation between material objects and cognizers. This narrative has been criticized
in recent scholarship from at least two directions. Scholars have emphasized that
we should not think of the Aristotelian tradition in such monolithic terms, and that
many early modern thinkers did not unequivocally reduce all causation to efficient
causation. In line with this general approach, this book features original essays
written by leading experts in early modern philosophy. It is organized around five
guiding questions: - What are the entities involved in causal processes leading to
cognition? - What type(s) or kind(s) of causality are at stake? Are early modern thinkers
confined to efficient causation or do other types of causation play a role? - What
is God's role in causal processes leading to cognition? - How do cognitive causal
processes relate to other, non-cognitive causal processes? - Is the causal process
in the case of human cognition in any way special? How does it relate to processes
involved in the case of non-human cognition? The essays explore how fifteen early
modern thinkers answered these questions: Francisco Suarez, Rene Descartes, Louis
de la Forge, Geraud de Cordemoy, Nicolas Malebranche, Thomas Hobbes, Baruch de Spinoza,
Gottfried Wilhelm Leibniz, Ralph Cudworth, Margaret Cavendish, John Locke, John Sergeant,
George Berkeley, David Hume, and Thomas Reid"
