Abstract
Abstract The philosophical relationship between Nicolas Malebranche and Gottfried Leibniz was both cordial and marked by a series of controversies. The first, beginning in 1675–1676, concerned the legacy of Descartes’s philosophy; the second, in 1686–1687, addressed the laws of motion; and the third, around 1695, focused on the relationship between the occasionalist system and the system of pre-established harmony. This chapter reconstructs these debates, with particular attention to the correspondence between Malebranche and Leibniz, which reveals key differences in their philosophical styles and the distinct epistemological tools employed during each controversy, thus providing a more nuanced and complex perspective on the theories of knowledge traditionally ascribed to both philosophers.
