This chapter looks at two of Malebranche’s later innovations. I argue that the first (imbuing ideas with causal power) is of no help in explaining perception, for a causal connection is insufficiently fine-grained. The doctrine of intelligible extension exacerbates these problems, since it is uniform; any differences among its ‘regions’ is due to the ...
