Synopsis

Nicolas Malebranche is now recognised as a major figure in the history of philosophy, occupying a crucial place in the Rationalist tradition of Descartes, Spinoza and Leibniz. The Search after Truth is his first, longest and most important work; this volume also presents the Elucidations which accompanied its third edition, the result of comments that Malebranche solicited on the original work and an important repository of his theories of ideas and causation. Together, the two texts constitute the complete expression of his mature thought, and are written in his subtle, argumentative and thoroughly readable style. They are presented in the distinguished translations by Thomas M. Lennon and Paul J. Olscamp, together with a historical introduction, a chronology of Malebranche's life, and useful notes on further reading.

A propos du livre

Revue de presse

"...I would like to emphasize again the great value that this volume represents to students and historians of philosophy primarily working in the English language. The translations are in a fluent style, the formatting of the book utilizes a pleasing layout, and...the editor has supplied a good store of scholarly help to go on." Thomas Heyd, Dialogue
