Sumario:In Francisco Suárez' Disputationes Metaphysicae and the Coimbran commentaries on Aristotle's works are to be found critical and innovative stances toward Aristotle and Aquinas. As transitional exponents of late Scholasticism at the turn of seventeenth century, their works are relevant case studies to understanding early-modern natural philosophy. Efficient causation is a central issue to such understanding. A particularly controversial point of the views on efficient causation in this background was the exact meaning of divine concurrence with secondary causes. This paper aims to explore Suarez' (part 1) and the Coimbrans' (part 2) accounts of efficient causation and divine concurrence in the context of Thomist concurrentism.
