Disputations 17, 18 and 19, translated from Spanish, deal with causality, types of efficient causes, human free choice, and chance.\u003cbr\u003eThe Spanish Jesuit Francisco Suarez (1548-1617) was an eminent philosopher and theologian whose \u003ci\u003eDisputationes Metaphysicae\u003c\/i\u003e was first published in Spain in 1597 and was widely studied throughout Europe during the seventeenth century. The \u003ci\u003eDisputationes Metaphysicae\u003c\/i\u003e had a great influence on the development of early modern philosophy and on such well-known figures as Descartes and Leibniz. This is the first time that Disputations 17, 18, and 19 have been translated into English.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe \u003ci\u003eMetaphysical Disputations\u003c\/i\u003e provide an excellent philosophical introduction to the medieval Aristotelian discussion of efficient causality. The work constitutes a synthesis of monumental proportions: problematic issues are lucidly delineated and the various arguments are laid out in depth. Disputations 17, 18, and 19 deal explicitly with such issues as the nature of causality, the types of efficient causes, the prerequisites for causal action, causal contingency, human free choice, and chance.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Rarewaves","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":41078684614753,"sku":"9780300060072","price":89.03,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0092\/7504\/8033\/files\/orig_26905220.jpg?v=1738189050","url":"https:\/\/www.rarewaves.com\/products\/9780300060072-on-efficient-causality","provider":"Rarewaves.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
