Kritik
"For a long time, early modern Germany remained a foggy land. Only a few towering peaks-Leibniz, Wolff, Kant-could be discerned. Today, new light is lifting the fog and we are discovering a much more complex and diverse landscape. By drawing attention to the vibrancy of early modern German debates about causation and the spread of occasionalism, Henkel's book contributes to this change of perspective. It is an exciting story that has been waiting to be told."



Andrea Sangiacomo, Groningen University, The Netherlands



"This book fills an important gap in our understanding of early modern causation and occasionalism. Henkel's clear and authoritative work will serve as an essential guide to those interested in the tradition of occasionalism as it evolved in the important era from Leibniz to Kant."



Jeffrey K. McDonough, Harvard University, USAmehr
