by Malebranche, Nicolas
Rotterdam: Chez Reinier Leers, 1687 First edition. Contemporary sheep, gilt-decorated spine, edges stained red, marbled endpapers. Twelvemo. Joints and corners a bit rubbed, but overall a very good copy. The present work is part of an energetic, continuing intellectual disputation between the Cartesian Malebranche and the Jansenist Arnauld. Both philosophers published numerous books and essays on philosophical and theological questions, many of them polemical and with each other's ideas as targets.
