Origin: A borrowing from German. Etymon: German Occasionalism.

Etymology: < German †Occasionalism (1796 in the passages translated in quots. 1797¹, 1797²; now Okkasionalismus ), apparently < post-classical Latin occasionalis occasional n. (compare German okkasionell ) + German †-ism -ism suffix. Compare French occasionnalisme (1845). Compare earlier occasionalist n. (compare sense 2 s.v.).

Philosophy.

A doctrine which explains all relations between events as resulting solely from the immediate causality of God; spec. the theory that the apparent causal interaction of mind and body arises from an event in one providing the occasion on which God acts to cause an event in the other.Associated chiefly with Cartesian philosophy of the 17th cent., notably with Malebranche and Geulincx, but also applied to other philosophical schools, such as medieval Islamic philosophy.

1797 tr. J. S. Beck Princ. Crit. Philos. iii. ii. 373 According to occasionalism, the sovereign, intelligent cause of the world, agreeably to his idea, would, by occasion of each copulation, give the organical formation to the matter which mixes in it.

1797 tr. J. S. Beck Princ. Crit. Philos. iii. ii. 374 Occasionalism annihilates all nature, and with it every use of understanding.

1842 W. T. Brande Dict. Sci., Lit. & Art 839/2 Occasionalism, or the System of Occasional Causes. In Metaphysics, a name..given to certain theories of the Cartesian school of philosophers.

1884 B. Bosanquet et al. tr. H. Lotze Metaphysic 114 The first assumption would only have led back to the embarrassments of Occasionalism.

1957 F. L. Cross Oxf. Dict. Christian Church 973/2 In the 19th cent. a form of occasionalism was revived by Hermann Lotze.

1960 J. O. Urmson Western Philos. & Philosophers 286/1 It was to provide a solution to the problems raised by the undoubted action of one substance on another that the theory of Occasionalism was developed... Since God is the sole cause, apparent psycho-physical causation need present no problem for the occurrence of an event in the one substance, mind, provides the Occasion for a Divine Act, in the other substance, body.

1984 Times Lit. Suppl. 25 May 587/1 There are chapters on the mysticism of Plotinus,..on the discovery of occasionalism by the Islamic philosophers.

1992 S. Nadler tr. N. Malebranche Philos. Select. Introd. p. viii Occasionalism can also be regarded as a way of providing a metaphysical foundation for explanations in mechanistic natural philosophy.
