🟣 Nicolas Malebranche / Philosophy #NicolasMalebranche #Malebranche

@ TELEGRAM: “I AM UNABLE, WHEN I TURN TO MYSELF, TO RECOGNIZE ANY OF MY FACULTIES OR MY CAPACITIES. THE INNER SENSATION WHICH I HAVE OF MYSELF INFORMS ME THAT I AM, THAT I THINK, THAT I WILL, THAT I HAVE SENSORY AWARENESS, THAT I SUFFER, AND SO ON; BUT IT PROVIDES ME WITH NO KNOWLEDGE WHATEVER OF WHAT I AM — OF THE NATURE OF MY THOUGHT, MY SENSATIONS, MY PASSIONS, OR MY PAIN — OR THE MUTUAL RELATIONS THAT OBTAIN BETWEEN ALL THESE THINGS … I HAVE NO IDEA WHATEVER OF MY SOUL.“ NICOLAS MALEBRANCHE NICOLAS MALEBRANCHE WAS A FRENCH ORATORIAN CATHOLIC PRIEST AND RATIONALIST PHILOSOPHER. IN HIS WORKS, HE SOUGHT TO SYNTHESIZE THE THOUGHT OF ST. AUGUSTINE AND DESCARTES, IN ORDER TO DEMONSTRATE THE ACTIVE ROLE OF GOD IN EVERY ASPECT OF THE WORLD. MALEBRANCHE IS BEST KNOWN FOR HIS DOCTRINES OF VISION IN GOD, OCCASIONALISM (OCCASIONALISM IS A PHILOSOPHICAL DOCTRINE ABOUT CAUSATION WHICH SAYS THAT CREATED SUBSTANCES CANNOT BE EFFICIENT CAUSES OF EVENTS. INSTEAD, ALL EVENTS ARE TAKEN TO BE CAUSED DIRECTLY BY GOD) AND ONTOLOGISM (ONTOLOGISM IS A PHILOSOPHICAL SYSTEM MOST ASSOCIATED WITH NICHOLAS MALEBRANCHE WHICH MAINTAINS THAT GOD AND DIVINE IDEAS ARE THE FIRST OBJECT OF OUR INTELLIGENCE AND THE INTUITION OF GOD THE FIRST ACT OF OUR INTELLECTUAL KNOWLEDGE). #historyandphilosophy #nicolasmalebranche #malebranche #ontologism #occasionalism #theodicy #malebranchestheodicy #dualism #malebranchesdualism #visioningod #innabesedina #frenchphilosophy #westernphilosophy #rationalism #cartesianism #augustinianism #metaphysics #epistemology #education #knowledge #studying #philosophical #thoughts #philosophicalthoughts #beautifulthoughts 00:00 NICOLAS MALEBRANCHE 01:15 PHILOSOPHY / VISION IN GOD 01:58 THEODICY 03:01 MALEBRANCHE’S DUALISM 03:44 OCCASIONALISM THIS VIDEO CONTAINS PHRASES / QUOTES BY NICOLAS MALEBRANCHE.
