Summary
The controversy over the true nature of material beings in early modern times has had great influence on the subsequent development of natural science. One of the major discussions of the time was the dispute over the measure of force between the followers of Leibniz and Descartes. Chun-Fa Liu argues that the disagreements must be attributed to the metaphysical view of nature.
