Book excerpt: This book offers a series of detailed studies of Bayle’s engagement with such crucial metaphysical issues as mind-body dualism, causation, and God’s relation to the world. It is argued that despite his reputation as a skeptic, Bayle is deeply influenced by the metaphysical systems of Descartes, and especially Nicolas Malebranche.
