This man's work Three Letters to Lamy was a rejection of the claim made by the title priest that this man's own Treatise on Ethics supported a quietist position. This philosopher attached a postscript to one of his works which chastised Robert Desgabets and Simon Foucher for failing to note that the work in question argued that the ideas we perceive exist in God, not in us. This philosopher's publication of his Treatise on Nature and Grace led him to an intellectual feud with Antoine Arnauld over God's role in creation. This philosopher's most famous work outlines the principal sources of human error, and describes the methods by which those errors can be avoided, and was followed by 16 "Clarifications," the penultimate of which was a restatement of this thinker's thesis that God was the only true cause. For 10 points, name the author of the book The Search After Truth, a French philosopher who formulated occasionalism.
