Causal Powers in the Latin Christian West
View through CrossRef
There were two main approaches to causal powers in the Latin Christian West. The first was pioneered by Peter Abelard, who linked causal powers with time and modality; this approach was developed in the succeeding centuries by philosophers like Robert Grosseteste, but eventually replaced by a new conception of modality and powers in John Duns Scotus. The second approach, pioneered by Anselm, linked causal powers with agency; in the late 13th century this led to a debate over causes and causal powers between Henry of Ghent and Godfrey of Fontaines, which was eventually resolved by John Duns Scotus, whose subtle analyses of causal powers, causes, and self-change became dominant. In the generations that succeeded Scotus, however, philosophical interest in causal powers, and causal explanation generally, seems to have declined.
