Originally published in French as 'De la recherche de la vérité, où l'on traite de la Nature de l'Esprit de l'homme, et de l'usage qu'il en doit faire pour éviter l'erreur dans les Sciences' (1674-75), and rapidly enlarged in response to criticism, Malebranche takes the Socratic position that we can never fully understand a universe created by an unintelligible God, but also attempts to link St Augustine and Descartes by proposing a distinction between truths known directly in the Mind, and those understood through the body.
