Tractatus De Inquisitione Veritatis

<p><i>Tractatus De Inquisitione Veritatis</i> (Treatise on the Search After Truth) by Nicolas Malebranche is a seminal work in the history of philosophy. Originally published in French in 1674-75 this treatise explores metaphysics and epistemology through a blend of rationalism and Augustinian theology. Malebranche's doctrine of 'vision in God' proposes that we perceive all things through God who serves as the intermediary between mind and matter. This challenges Cartesian dualism and offers a unique perspective on the nature of knowledge and reality.</p> <p>This edition makes Malebranche's profound philosophical insights accessible to a modern audience. The treatise remains a valuable resource for understanding 17th-century thought and the development of Western philosophy. His influence can be seen in subsequent thinkers and his ideas continue to provoke discussion and debate.</p><p>This work has been selected by scholars as being culturally important and is part of the knowledge base of civilization as we know it.
