Nicolas Malebranche was born #OTD in 1638.

Although better known for his philosophical work, Malebranche made some notable contributions to physics, working within a broadly Cartesian framework but nevertheless prepared to depart from Descartes where necessary. In addition, Malebranche wrote on the laws of motion, a topic he discussed extensively with Leibniz. via nostr:npub1kvnpp3m60derhwpqwc09zhk3ehk48tr6agc6dk9z2vggu9sga28qpxhm73
