Antoine Arnauld (1612 to 1694) was a French theologian and philosopher, born in Paris as the twentieth and last child of an influential family closely tied to the convent of Port-Royal. Ordained a priest in 1641, he had a long and highly controversial career in theology, and his writings were gathered in forty-two large folio volumes. As a philosopher he traded famous objections and replies with Descartes, Malebranche and Leibniz, and with Pierre Nicole he co-authored the Port-Royal Logic, a standard textbook for two centuries. He fled to the Netherlands in 1679 and remained there until his death in Liège.
