Abstract

[Machine translation] The mistakes of Yves de Vallone (1666/67-1705) and the adventures of his career are remarkable. Unwillingly involved in the Congregation of Sainte-Geneviève at the age of 16, he burst into flames when he was informed that there was a “small Church” of Socinians within his order. He accuses the Genovan directors of heresy and undergoes a very trying persecution, but ends up getting the Superior General and his acolytes dismissed, not because of their heresy, but because of the persecution they inflicted on him. As the new Genovefan leadership sought to avenge the old one, Vallone escaped to Switzerland and Germany and converted to Protestantism in 1697. Called to Zwolle in the United Provinces, he established himself as a rationalist apologist for the Calvinist doctrine of predestination in two writings directed against Lutherans. However, not wanting to abandon metaphysics to libertines, he let himself be carried away by the logic of his own Malebranchian conception of the infinitely perfect Being and came up against criticism from Jacques Bernard and censure by a synod of the Reformed Church in 1703. He then abandoned, not his malebranchy rationalism, but the doctrine of original sin, which had led to all his difficulties: under the influence of Leenhof, and with the help of the works of Richard Simon, Pierre Bayle and Spinoza, he drew up an overwhelming history of Christian doctrine and developed a philosophical system where God, the intelligent principle of all that exists, acts by the necessity of his own nature and ends up merging with Nature.
