Abstract

Géraud de Cordemoy was unique among Descartes’s followers in advocating atomism, and he was perhaps the first Cartesian occasionalist. Interestingly, he understood both of these positions to follow from Cartesian metaphysics, despite the fact that Descartes never endorsed the latter and explicitly rejected the former. This chapter examines Cordemoy’s Cartesian-inspired arguments for both atomism and occasionalism, and discusses his thoughts on mind-body dualism and language use.
