- W4387360075 abstract "Seventeenth-century “mechanical philosophy”, particularly its Cartesian form, challenged the long-standing belief in final causes as explanatory principles of the order of nature. To many it also seemed to threaten the idea that the world was ruled by Providence. Reactions took many forms. One of them, natural theology, or physico-theology, exerted a pervasive influence on the image of nature for a long time. Order, abundance, variety, compensation and contrivance were key concepts in the attempts to defend a basically optimistic view of what was traditionally called the “economy of nature”. But then an old question returned: how could providential order be reconciled with the existence of suffering, death and destruction? Attitudes towards the problem of evil interacted in various ways with attitudes towards the teleological order of nature. The economy of nature was, in fact, the moral economy of nature. Science and natural philosophy were imbued with moral meaning. The more nature was known, the more God’s, and nature’s, ways to the human being were vindicated. This belief became a tacit assumption which also influenced authors who cannot, strictly speaking, be described as natural theologians or apologetic writers. Its influence lasted for a long time, and survived the so-called Darwinian revolution." @default.
