In a series of Letters addressed to John Norris, Mary Astell argued against this philosophy stating that there is no such thing as a "sensible congruity." A form of this philosophy advocated by Arnold Geulincx in his text Metaphysica vera uses the example of two clocks which stay synchronized due to the regularity of their maker's actions. In England, this idea was promoted by Thomas Taylor in his book Two Covenants of God with Mankind. Gottfried Leibniz rejected this stance and instead relied on "pre-established harmony," though Antoine Arnauld argued it isindistinguishable from this view. A book that introduced this idea rejected the Aristotelian notion of change and Rene Descartes's idea that bodies act upon other bodies and discusses the concept of "intelligible extensions." The idea that God "continually intervenes" and is thus the only efficient cause is, for 10 points, what stance presented in The Search After Truth and articulated by Nicolas Malebranche?
