The Ways God is Operating in Nature. Early Modern Strategies to Avoid Pantheism
Original language description
This essay examines how early modern scholasticism discussed the linkage of God as a universal cause with the course of nature, asking how this prevented pantheism. I will look into how Thomas Aquinas, O.P., discussed divine causation in teleological terms; Francisco Suarez, S.J., elaborated on the modes of causation, and Joseph Falck, S.J., discussed local and other natural motion as bestowed on things; Vincentius Contenson, O.P., connected the question with paradoxes of the infinite and materialism; Gallus Cartier, O.S.B., highlighted the anthropocentric fallacies of pantheism. My survey thus involves Dominican, Jesuit, and Benedictine authors, which will be interpreted as offering strategies to avoid or counter physico-theological pantheism. Pantheism, it turns out, is the most alluring Framework for coordinating the divine and the natural, and at the same time the surest indication of the weakness of a physical theology.
