D. Malebranche's Speculation in Relation to Neo-Platonism, Cartesianism, and the Monadology of LeibnizDialogues; First Dialogue; The soul and its distinction from the body-The nature of ideas-The world in which our bodies dwell and which we survey is quite different from the world which we see.; Second Dialogue; We see all things in God, and nothing finite is capable of representing Him-Thus it is sufficient to think of Him to know that He exists.; Third Dialogue. |
|
The difference between our feelings and our ideas-We must judge of things only by the ideas which are representative of them and not by the feelings by which we are affected through their presence or on their occasion. Fourth Dialogue; The general nature and properties of the senses-The wisdom of the laws of the conjunction of soul and body-This union changed into a relation of dependence by the sin of the first man.; Fifth Dialogue. |
|
The function of the senses in the sciences-Our sensations contain a clear idea and a confused feeling-The idea does not belong to the sensation-It is the idea which enlightens the mind and the feeling which stimulates it and renders it attentive for it is by means of feeling that the intelligible idea becomes sensible.; Sixth Dialogue; Proofs of the existence of bodies, based on revelation-Two kinds of revelation-Explanation of the fact that the natural revelations of the sensations are a source of error.; Seventh Dialogue. |
|
The inefficacy of natural causes or the impotence of created things-We are united immediately and directly to God alone. Eighth Dialogue; God and His attributes.; Ninth Dialogue; God always acts in accordance with His nature; He has created all things for the sake of His glory in Jesus Christ, and He did not form His designs without prior regard to the ways of their realisation.; Tenth Dialogue. |
