This study traces the development of the metaphysics of the material world in early modern thought. It starts with the scholastic innovator Su¿z, proceeds to a consideration of Su¿z's connections to Descartes, and ends with an examination of Spinoza's fundamental re-conceptualization of the Cartesian material world.
