ABSTRACT In this article I examine Edward Stillingfleet’s last published work and the critique of Rene Descartes’s natural philosophy therein which appeared in 1702 as an incomplete appendix to the revised edition of his well-known Origines Sacrae to explore the depiction of God’s power that underwrote his assessment of Cartesianism mechanical philosophy and its inclination to atheism. I consider both Stillingfleet’s characterization of God’s relationship with the creation and the contextual sources he used to support it, to show that his refutation of Descartes’s work was wrapped in the language of voluntarist theology.

爱德华·斯蒂林弗利特对笛卡尔自然哲学的神学批判

摘要 在这篇文章中，我考察了爱德华·斯蒂林弗利特 (Edward Stillingfleet) 最后发表的著作，以及对勒内·笛卡尔 (Rene Descartes) 自然哲学的批评，该书于 1702 年作为他著名的《神圣起源》修订版的不完整附录出现，以探索对上帝的力量的描述，这些描述促成了他的评估笛卡尔主义机械哲学及其对无神论的倾向。我考虑了斯蒂林弗利特对上帝与创造物关系的描述以及他用来支持它的上下文来源，以表明他对笛卡尔工作的反驳是用自愿主义神学的语言包裹的。
