Problem of Transference

Paper, Order, or Assignment Requirements

The problem of transference. One key metaphysical problem running throughout the modern period
concerns the ontology of motion. It seems problematic, insofar as a mode of one body seems to migrate to another. Present this ‘problem of transference’ and then explain how the following figures deal with it: Descartes, Spinoza, Leibniz and Kant. Whose view is the most plausible, and why? Since this is a research paper, be sure to include references – footnotes and bibliography – for all of your citations. Just as you want to know where people are getting the information they pass on to you as true, so you need to tell your readers why your sources are credible. Web sites may be included but do not count towards the seven sources required except in the case of articles or books published both in print and online or else in databases of scholarly sources).
