Louis of the Forging mill

Louis of the Forging mill , born in 1632 with the Arrow and died in 1666 with Saumur, is a Philosophe French.

Wire of a doctor and itself doctor of medicine, the Forging mill was a friend of Descartes of which it adopted the system. Theorist of the Occasionnalisme, it showed one of the most skilful interpreters of these doctrines which came from there to dominate the Cartésianisme in its Traité human heart, of its faculties, its functions and its union with the body, according to the principles of Descartes (Amsterdam, 1664, in-4°), where it explains the relation of the heart to the body like works of the divine will and, in a similar way, the interaction between the two, except for the movements which depend on the will that it regards as volunteer. The human heart, consequently, seems production and causes immediate of all the actions (movements) conscious and voluntary; God is, on the other hand, the production and the immediate cause of all the unconscious and involuntary processes. The body impression cannot cause the design of the latter, but only encourage with God to cause them, and reciprocally. The Forging mill thus accepts the occasionalism except in the case of the movements known as voluntary. If those are not, in fact, volunteers, and if they are as independent of the will as they are to it knowledge, then it is necessary to conclude that the human will does not cause any body action of any kind and to put the theory occasionalist from it works about it on a dualistic basis.
