Journal of the History of Philosophy, 1969
In recent years Malebranche’s philosophical star has begun to rise. From the nadir of being almost completely ignored, he has risen of late to the position of “failure.”1 Most interpreters have rejected Malebranche’s claim to being a philosopher because of one or both of the following “failures”: (1) that he constructed a semi-Cartesian ontology which ...
