Occasionalism and Freedom

A variety of ex nihilo Creationism is Occasionalism, according to which the deity re-creates the universe at every moment.  One significant implication of this doctrine is that there is no real causal connectivity between created entities.  So, British Empiricism can be conceived as secularized Occasionalism.  For example, Locke's Tabula Rasa is the ex nihilo of Experience, recurring with every new Sense Datum, with the result that Experience is being constantly renewed.  Berkeley dissociates this sequence from any objective realm, and Hume's Skepticism about Causality is Occasionalist without the Theological premise.  Likewise, the concept of Freedom that emerges from this tradition is Occasionalist--a contentless detachment-from, e. g. the American Declaration of Independence, the 'pursuit of happiness' as an end in itself, etc.  In contrast, Free Will has specific content, i. e. the goal to be effected, thus requiring anti-Occasionalist diachronic Causality.  Since the detachment-from is non-specific, a Political Theory founded on Occasionalist Freedom is a-historical, e. g. that it is from Great Britain, in the second half of the 18th-Century, is inessential to what the American Declaration declares.
