| Definition Of: |
occasionalism
A view popularized by Nicholas Malbranche whereby: (1) the mental and the material comprise two different kinds of substance; (2) neither has any direct causal effect on the other and; (3) all seeming interactions between the two are due to the continual intervention by God who brings about a change in one on the occasion of a change in the other. See dualism, doctrine of preestablished harmony, parallelism. <Discussion> < References> Pete Mandik
The theory that mind and body are separate realities which do not interact but that events occur in one as they occur in the other according as God wills their occurrence. (Malebranche) *
