Description
MALEBRANCHE (Nicolas) Traité de l'Amour de Dieu, en quel sens il doit être désintéressé. Trois Lettres au R.P. Lamy, Religieux bénédictin, et une quatriéme, ou Réponse générale à celles de ce même Pére. Lyon, Léonard Plaignard, 1707. 1 vol. in-12, marbled calf, ribbed spine decorated with gilt fleurons, red morocco title-piece, gilt fillet on the edges, red edges. Contemporary binding. (5) ff, 272 pp, (3) ff, 222 pp, (1) f. First separate edition. Traité de l'Amour de Dieu appeared in the second volume of the 1697 edition of Traité de Morale, at the height of the Quietism quarrel. This polemical work is a response to Father Lamy. Malebranche's clear, balanced approach to the problem earned him Bossuet's esteem. For Malebranche, even if God is the sole end of our love, this love cannot be totally disinterested. A fine copy. Cioranescu, 44898.
