 In sum, al-Kindī suggests in this text that both created and divine efficient causes can be understood in terms of craftsmanship. The craftsman model serves as the overarching account of the efficient cause. On the other hand, al-Kindī identifies two major differences between created and divine agency. First, divine craftsmanship is far superior to that of created things. Second, the efficient causality of created things depends on divine efficient causality. The actions of the former depend on the harmonious order of God’s creation.
