Steven Nadler presents a collection of essays on philosophical problems about causation in the seventeenth century. His focus is on a particular doctrine, "occasionalism", found among a number of early modern followers of Descartes. The essays consider the philosophical, scientific, theological, and historical context for the doctrine.
