	Nicolas Malebranche (Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy)
		Malebranche was one of many children born to his mother, Catherine de Lauzon, the sister of a Viceroy of Canada, and his father, also Nicolas Malebranche, a secretary to Louis XIII.
		Malebranche's early biographer, Father Yves André, reported that he was so “ecstatic” on reading this account that he experienced “such violent palpitations of the heart that he was obliged to leave his book at frequent intervals, and to interrupt his reading of it in order to breathe more easily” (André 1970, 11-12).
		Malebranche insisted that God's general will is operative not only in the order of nature, but also in the “order of grace.” However, he noted that the production of effects in the latter order also involves human action that is free in the strong sense of not being determined by anything external to the agent.

	Malebranche's Theory of Ideas and Vision in God (Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy)
		Malebranche was not alone in the seventeenth-century in endorsing representationalism; in fact, it is often thought that he inherited this position from Descartes.
		Malebranche's primary objection to other theories of cognition, then, is that they fail to satisfy these conditions and, in the case of Descartes' theory in particular, encourage the skeptic's claim that we lack knowledge.
		Malebranche, it would appear, is forced to abandon his substance-mode ontology: ‘I believe that intelligible extension is neither a substance nor a modification of substance, notwithstanding the axiom of the Philosophers [that everything is a either a substance or a mode]’ (OC 6:245).

	Welcome to Philos
		Malebranche sees that some mental perceptions may be produced from an external spiritual source, such as telepathy, and thus do not represent or copy anything.
		Malebranche considers a possible defense that we naturally have some kind of confused ideas of things, and it is from these confused ideas that we develop the more distinct ideas which more accurately resemble the original object.
		Malebranche concludes that this is the most probable of all the theories of how we acquire ideas of objects.

	Malebranche
		Malebranche agreed with Descartes that awareness of mental states is immediate and infallible, perception of bodies is indirect and fallible, and that knowledge of things comes from clear and distinct ideas grasped by reason, and not by sensation or imagination.
		Malebranche proceeds by considering a variety of hypotheses about the origin and nature of ideas, raising objections and eliminating competing hypotheses until his own -- that the ideas we immediately perceive are archetypes of objects in the mind of God.
		Malebranche rejects the Cartesian view that we have a clear and distinct idea of the nature or essence of the mind, Malebranche holds that neither the nature nor the modification of the mind are known by way of ideas.

		"Nicholas Malebranche (1638-1715)" is a useful resource that provides information on the life and work of the French philosopher Nicholas Malebranche.
		Malebranche himself was a Cartesian philosopher (Cartesian: in the tradition of the great French philosopher Rene Descartes, 1595-1650).
		Perhaps his most famous doctrine is that of "occasionalism", a proposed solution to the problem of how the mind relates to the body, whereby mind and body do not interact with each other, but rather God merely guarantees that certain bodily events always occur at the same time as related mental events.
