These substantial selections from "The Search after Truth", "Elucidations of the Search after Truth", "Dialogues on Metaphysics", and "Treatise on Nature and Grace" provide the student of modern philosophy with both a broad view of Malebranche's philosophical system and a detailed picture of his most important doctrines. Malebranche's occasionalism, his theory of knowledge and the 'vision in God', and his writings on theodicy and freedom are solidly represented.

4.0 out of 5 stars
Best read with guidance,
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Philosophical Selections: From the Search After Truth (Paperback)
This was one of the most difficult philosophers I studied in college. As with most philosophy books, is best read overtime, and with guidance from a professor.
