What it is about

Malebranche's Dialogues on metaphysics, religion and death: his philosophy set out as a conversation among three friends.

Context and history

He wrote them when the system was already built, which is why they are the best way in: what the Search after Truth makes you assemble across hundreds of pages is said here in one continuous run. The two theses that define him return — that we see things in God, and that no creature is the real cause of anything — but now addressed to someone who raises objections. The dialogues on death were added later, and the tone changes: they are by a man thinking about it close up.

Editorial context, not a citable source: unlike the passages of the work itself, these statements cannot be checked against the corpus.
