 Given this diversity of positions, it might be helpful to characterize occasionalism as follows: one is an occasionalist for domain x iff one holds that God is the unique genuine cause within domain x and other alleged causes within this domain are not real causes but at most occasional causes. And by “domain” here, we refer to the roughly defined set of alleged causal relations under consideration, for instance, the domain of causal relations that hold between material or bodily substances. We will have more to say about what an occasional cause is later on, but, at this point, on the basis of the characterization of occasionalism just given, we might introduce some terminology to refer to and differentiate the different possible positions among those who subscribe to some form of occasionalism. We will refer to the occasionalists who endorse the full-blown version, along the lines of Malebranche, and take the negative thesis that no creature cause is a genuine cause to apply across the board to all finite substances as advocating “global occasionalism.” Global occasionalism, accordingly, holds that all creaturely causation is at most occasional, while divine causation is uniquely genuine. In contrast, those who are willing to endorse some genuine causation on the part of creatures, hence restricting occasional causation to only a limited domain will be described as endorsing a form of “local occasionalism.” (Lee 2008)
