Particularly Boerhaave s insistence on keeping to the study of the individual characteristics and powers of nature set him apart from other religiously inspired natural philosophers. It can be argued that the idea of God s handiwork manifested in nature was a regular feature of all natural theology at the time and also that the emphasis on the weakness of man s intellect can be found in the works of other, non-Calvinist, natural philosophers. Yet, Boerhaave s aversion to general theory,... [Pg.65]

What is the nature of Darwin s argument for evolution by secondary causes and what is its value It does not belong to science but to natural theology, for it concerns God the creator and the laws he has implanted in matter. It should more properly be called metaphysical, for the argument turns on the distinction between primary and secondary causes, which are traditionally the concern of metaphysics. (Maurer, 2004, p. 497) ... [Pg.61]
