Suárez on Aristotelian Causality
Brill (Verlag)
978-90-04-29215-4 (ISBN)
The material, formal, efficient and final cause as understood by Suárez each receives a chapter in this volume just as his general account of causality is considered. This should be relevant to anyone interested in the role and pertinence of Aristotelian causality for Suárez’s metaphysics.
Contributors (in order of appearance) are Jakob Leth Fink, Erik Åkerlund, Kara Richardson, Stephan Schmid and Sydney Penner.
Jakob Leth Fink, Ph.D. (2009) University of Copenhagen, holds a position as Research Fellow at the University of Gothenburg in the Representation and Reality in the Aristotelian Tradition Project. Editor of The Development of Dialectic from Plato to Aristotle (Cambridge, 2012) and, with Heine Hansen and Ana María Mora-Márquez, Logic and Language in the Middle Ages: A Volume in Honour of Sten Ebbesen (Leiden, 2013).
