Rosmini’s Sketch of His Own Philosophy: 4. The Ideas Exist In God From All Eternity
It was the consdieration of these sublime characteristics of the ideas that led to Plato and after him St Augustine and St Thomas to conclude that the ideas reside in God as their source and principle.
From this opinion Malebranche deduced his system that man, as well as every other finite intelligence, sees all that he does see in God. This system was afterwards defended from the imputations against its theological orthodoxy by Cardinal Gerdil.
We do not entirely accept this system, for reasons too long to enter upon here, but we recognize in it a foundation of truth, and we say in general that the differences between our system and that of Malebranche lies in fundamentals bu in details.
