| Sumario: | "Gerauld de Cordemoy (1626-1684) was one of the leading French Cartesians of his day. He was the sole Cartesian atomist, and was perhaps the first to argue that Cartesian metaphysics led inescapably to occasionalism." "Fred Ablondi offers the first book-length treatment in English of Cordemoy's work filling a long-standing gap in the literature on seventeenth-century philosophical thought. Ablondi reconstructs and analyzes the arguments which Cordemoy employed to arrive at his atomism and his occasionalism, treating them as philosophically and historically important in their own right. This book also examines many previous interpretations of Cordemoy's thought - both those made by his own contemporaries and also those made by more recent scholars."--Jacket |
