The Philosophy of Malebranche (Classic Reprint)


Book Description

Excerpt from The Philosophy of Malebranche In the following pages, I have attempted merely to give an accurate historical account of the main philosophical Opinions of Father Malebranche; the perhaps more important task of making a critical ap praisal of the truth of these Opinions has been largely left to some future date. It is, at any rate, clear that the system of Malebranche, as a chapter in the history of the Platonic tradition, deserves more consideration than it has hitherto received. I must take this occa sion to express my gratitude to my teachers at Cornell University, and especially to Professor J. E. Creigh ton, without Whose kindly encouragement this disser tation would never have been completed. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

A Study in the Philosophy of Malebranche


Book Description

First published in 1931, A Study in the Philosophy of Malebranche examines the theories which constitute the philosophical system of Malebranche. From the entire gamut of Malebranche’s works, Church specifically culls out and analyses theories pertaining to Malebranche’s vision in god; knowledge; occasionalism; and imagination and sense. These theories are embedded within Malebranche’s lifelong engagement with the works of Descartes and to some extent, St. Augustine. A philosopher often overlooked, A Study in the Philosophy of Malebranche has enduring relevance for students of philosophy and theology.




Malebranche


Book Description

Nicolas Malebranche (1638-1715) is one of the most important philosophers of the seventeenth century after Descartes. A pioneer of rationalism, he was one of the first to champion and to further Cartesian ideas. Andrew Pyle places Malebranche's work in the context of Descartes and other philosophers, and also in its relation to ideas about faith and reason. He examines the entirety of Malebranche's writings, including the famous The Search After Truth, which was admired and criticized by both Leibniz and Locke. Pyle presents an integrated account of Malebranche's central theses, occasionalism and 'vision in God', before exploring and assessing Malebranche's contribution to debates on physics and biology, and his views on the soul, self-knowledge, grace and the freedom of the will. This penetrating and wide-ranging study will be of interest to not only philosophers, but also to historians of science and philosophy, theologians, and students of the Enlightenment or seventeenth century thought.
