Prouver sans démontrer : Malebranche et la Trinité
715-742 p.
- Proving without Demonstrating. Malebranche and the Trinity. Malebranche denies us any direct intuition of the divine essence and, consequently, an immediate knowledge of the Trinity. At the same time, however, he intends to make metaphysics serve religion, and philosophy serve theology. It is not simply a question of rationally demonstrating some praeambula fidei (the existence of God or his truthfulness), but of confirming by reason some revelata. The contradiction with the previous statements seems to reach its peak when Malebranche states that he wants to prove the Trinity, even though it is incomprehensible. How can philosophy, without contradiction, prove a mystery that Revelation commands it to hold as incomprehensible and perhaps inexplicable? [Publisher's text].
