The claim that, just as I choose to make ‘U’ follow ‘Q’, God acts to create what look like causal connections on each and every occasion—that there are, strictly speaking, no causal connections but only temporal coincidences—is called occasionalism.

You cannot be an occasionalist without being a voluntarist, and every voluntarist has taken at least the first step on the road to occasionalism.

The gallery exhibit is the work of a filmmaker who has been, so to speak, between films—but Varda’s career has always been enlivened by an essential and constant sense of between-ness, an occasionalism in the best sense of the term.

It was necessary to take the roundabout way through occasionalism and the preëstablished harmony, including the latter's retreat to the omnipotence of God, before it was possible to miss the question of the validity of the presupposition that the connection between cause and effect is analytic and rational.

It results from the occasionalism attributed by Dewey to the thinking process.
