Modes
In Metaphysical Themes 1274–1671. New York: Oxford University Press. pp. 244-276 (2011)
Abstract
This chapter attempts to understand the status of a mode, as something real but yet not a real accident. The pre‐history to Suárez's theory is traced, and then Suárez's own view. The chapter argues that Descartes's conception is much like Suárez's, and that Descartes can be shown to be committed to modes as real entities in his ontology over and above substances.Author's Profile
