The Spanish Jesuit Francisco Suarez (1548-1617) was an eminent
philosopher and theologian whose Disputationes Metaphysicae was
first published in Spain in 1597 and was widely studied throughout
Europe during the seventeenth century. The Disputationes
Metaphysicae 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. The Metaphysical Disputations
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.
