Hobart demonstrates how Malebranche's theories of truth, ideas, and intelligible extension were formulated under the influence of mathematics and how these theories conflicted with the assumptions and patterns of thought needed for traditional substance philosophy and natural theology. The conflict produced inconsistencies in key concepts--necessity, infinity, being, faith, and reason--rendering any reconciliation between science and religion intellectually unattainable.

Hardcover. Etat : Very Good. Etat de la jaquette : Good. 1st Edition. First edition of Michael E. Hobart's scholarly study of the relationship between mathematics, scientific reasoning, metaphysics, and Christian theology in the philosophy of Nicolas Malebranche. The volume contains x, 195 pages, including bibliography and index. Hobart examines how Malebranche's theories of truth, ideas, and intelligible extension developed under the influence of mathematics and how these theories came into conflict with traditional substance philosophy and natural theology. Particular attention is given to Malebranche's treatment of necessity, infinity, being, faith, reason, and the difficulty of reconciling the emerging mathematical sciences with inherited religious and philosophical assumptions. Condition: Original red cloth hardcover appears square and sound, with light shelf wear visible at the exposed spine ends. Interior pages appear clean and unmarked in the supplied photographs, with mild age-toning. The original red dust jacket remains present and generally bright but shows rubbing and edge wear, a vertical tear extending downward from the upper edge of the front panel, additional short tears and creasing along the upper edge, and chipping and small losses around the spine head and upper corners. Rear panel has lighter rubbing and edge wear. A sound and attractive scholarly copy despite the jacket damage. An uncommon first edition in its original dust jacket, with appeal to collectors and scholars of Nicolas Malebranche, Cartesian philosophy, seventeenth-century intellectual history, natural theology, early modern science, and the historical relationship between science and religion. UNC Press later returned the previously out-of-print work to availability as an Enduring Edition, confirming its continuing scholarly relevance. Carefully packed and shipped in a sturdy box. USPS Media Mail available within the United States; expedited and international shipping quoted at cost. Returns accepted in accordance with AbeBooks' 30-day return policy. SCI 2a.
