Louis XIII., and See also:Catherine de Lauzon, See also:sister of a See also:viceroy of See also:Canada, was See also:born at See also:Paris on the 6th of See also:August 1638. Deformed and constitutionally feeble, he received his elementary See also:education from a See also:tutor, and See also:left See also:home only when sufficiently advanced to enter upon a course of See also:philosophy at the See also:College de la See also:Marche, and subsequently to study See also:theology at the See also:Sorbonne. He had resolved to take See also:holy orders, but his studious disposition led him to decline a See also:- STALL (0. Eng. steall, stael, cf. Du. stal, Ger. and Swed. Stall, a common Teutonic word for a place, station, place for standing in; the root is the Indo-European std–, to stand, seen also in Latin stabulum, Greek vraO bs, and in stallion, an entire hors
stall in Notre See also:Dame, and in 166o he joined the See also:congregation of the See also:Oratory: He was first advised by Pere Lecointe to devote himself to ecclesiastical See also:history, and laboriously studied See also:Eusebius, See also:Socrates, See also:Sozomen and See also:Theodoret, but " the facts refused to arrange themselves in his mind, and mutually effaced one another." See also:Richard See also:Simon undertook to See also:teach him See also:Hebrew and Biblical See also:criticism with no better success. At last in 1664 he chanced to read See also:Descartes's Traite del' homme (de /See also:tontine), which moved him so deeply that (it is said) he was repeatedly compelled by palpitations of the See also:heart to See also:lay aside his See also:reading. Malebranche was from that See also:hour consecrated to philosophy, and after ten years' study of the See also:works of Descartes he produced the famous De la recherche de la verile, followed at intervals by other works, both speculative and controversial. Like most of the See also:great See also:meta-physicians of the 17th See also:century, Malebranche interested himself also in questions of See also:mathematics and natural philosophy, and in 1699 was admitted an honorary member of the See also:Academy of Sciences. During his later years his society was much courted, and he received many visits from foreigners of distinction. He died on the 13th of See also:October 1715; his end was said to have been hastened by a metaphysical See also:argument into which he had been See also:drawn in the course of an interview with See also:Bishop See also:Berkeley. For a See also:critical See also:account of Malebranche's See also:place in the history of philosophy, see See also:CARTESIANISM.
