Description
The dialogue is between two imaginary characters, Theodore and Artists. Theodore upholds the view which Malebranche himself supported, on the dualism of mind and body, but Aristes is a stringent qu...estioner. The discussion between then aims to elucidate the central problems to which the Cartesian thesis gives rise that of the exact nature of the relationship between mind and body. Rejecting the idea of a causal interaction between bodily and mental events, Malebranche, through the mouth of Theodore, advances his reasons for asserting the supremacy of mind over body
