PRICLADNITZKY, Pedro Falcão. Remarks on the Structure of the Recherche de la Verité: The Role of Vision in God. Educação e Filosofia [online]. 2020, vol.34, n.71, pp.705-725.  Epub 06-Fev-2022. ISSN 1982-596X.  https://doi.org/10.14393/revedfil.v34n71a2020-54427.

The present article will discuss the argumentative context in which Nicolas Malebranche presents the doctrine of the vision in God in his work, Recherche de la Verité. Malebranche is known for this doctrine about human cognition, and also for his occasionalistic view of causality, and such positions are only properly understood when put in the argumentative context designed by the author, which is not usually seen in commentaries. With this goal, we intend to look into the precise position of the vision of God in the Recherche and to identify the argument of the work as a whole. Thus, by seeing how the malebranchean theory of cognition fits in his philosophical project, we will be able to adequately reconstruct this important and influential philosophical doctrine of the seventeenth century.
