法国奥古斯丁会士和数学家。深陷于由于笛卡尔抛下的“心灵不重，物质无思，两者如何互动”的二元论死结困惑。提出“偶因论”：两个物理碰撞或想举手，这其本身完全没有能力发动对方，仅因为上帝的存在作为偶发引力因子使得两面和谐发生互动。
A seventeenth-century French Oratorian priest and the most original successor to Cartesian rationalism. Physically frail and severely hunchbacked, Malebranche possessed a spirit of extraordinary purity and intellectual dedication. A chance encounter with Descartes' *Treatise on Man* at a Paris bookstall transformed his life; he devoted decades to the great metaphysical work *The Search After Truth*.
Malebranche proposed 'Occasionalism' to resolve the Cartesian mind-body problem. If mind and matter are utterly distinct substances with no causal commerce, how does a mental volition move a physical limb? His answer: it does not. The mental act is merely an 'occasion'; God, in His omniscient unity, synchronously causes the corresponding physical motion. 'We see all things in God.' The divine intellect is the sole nexus binding the otherwise isolated realms of thought and extension, lending the dualism an unprecedented theological grandeur.
"Our mental volitions have no physical power to move matter. Each act of will is merely an occasional cause; all activity unfolds within the unified intellect of the Creator, who synchronizes every motion in a single symphony."
马勒伯朗士那经典的‘偶因论（Occasionalism）’：你脑中的微小思执、与你身外发生的那一树飘花和物理跌落，实则在物理和时空深处、全部是由同一股涵盖全宇宙的绝对大秩序网络（神/大自然总规律）在毫秒不差地做着大同步大总配运行（偶因联动）。当你看着在这个下午，你手腕捏着的这只钢笔在移动、而风正卷落起窗前的那一指残叶。你是否能品评到，这种将人类自私自我意志、与全天体巨轮运动瞬间大同频的神妙灵性大合流？
Descartes posited the pineal gland as a crude physical bridge between mind and body, creating insoluble problems. Malebranche eliminated any material intermediary: God alone is the causal nexus, and mind and body are synchronized through the divine intellect at every instant, without any direct interaction.
Is the mind an isolated, autonomous subject thinking its own thoughts in a cold mechanical shell (Descartes), or is every thought a node synchronized within a vast divine network that encompasses all reality (Malebranche)?
