Malebranche on Space, Time, and Divine Simplicity.
Not much attention has been paid to Malebranche's philosophy of time. Scholars who have written on it have typically written about it only in passing, and by and large discuss it only in relation to his philosophy of religion. This is appropriate insofar as Malebranche doesn't discuss his views of t...

Scholars who have written on it have typically written about it only in passing, and by and large discuss it only in relation to his philosophy of religion. This is appropriate insofar as Malebranche doesn't discuss his views of time in isolation from his religious metaphysics. I argue that Malebranche's conception of how created beings have their properties commits him to saying that God is omnitemporal rather than atemporal. For just as bodies get their spatiality by participating in God's omnipresence, so all creatures get their temporality by participating in God's omnitemporality. Moreover, Malebranche is a substantivalist about space and time: infinite space and time are one and the same divinely simple substance, God (partially considered), who contains the world. My exploration of Malebranche's metaphysics sheds light on his views of eminent containment, participation, and causation. pubtype: Academic Journal doctype: Article src: R language: English refInfo: copyright: @attributes: flag: Y custom: International Journal for Philosophy of Religion is a copyright of Springer, 2023.
