He has published articles and book chapters on various topics in early modern philosophy, and is the author of Malebranche's Theory of the Soul (Oxford, 1996), Radical Cartesianism (Cambridge, 2002), and Descartes on Causation (Oxford, 2008). He is a co-editor of the Historical Dictionary of Descartes and Cartesian Philosophy (Scarecrow, 2003), and is the editor of Receptions of Descartes (Routledge, 2005). Currently he is working on two edited volumes, the first a collection of essays on the history of the concept of efficient causation, for the Oxford Philosophical Concepts series, and the second a collection of essays on problems and prospects for integrating history and philosophy of science, which he is editing with the historian of science Seymour Mauskopf. He also is continuing to work on receptions of Cartesianism, the influence of late scholasticism on early modern thought, the nature of the "Scientific Revolution," and early modern accounts of substance, causation and freedom.
