Abstract

Sang Hyun Lee’s account of Jonathan Edwards’s ontology has become the benchmark of many recent discussions of Edwards’s thought. In this paper, I argue that this Lee interpretation is flawed in several crucial respects. In place of Lee’s understanding of Edwards I offer an account of Edwards’s work according to which Edwards is an idealist-occasionalist, but not an advocate of a purely dispositional ontology of creation.
