Summary:

These 'shorter philosophical works' by Leibniz offer a summary of the philosopher's major works. The essays on monadology - unpublished in Leibniz's lifetime - appeared here for the first time in their original form as taken from his papers. This is a reprint of the second edition of 1740 which contained an improved translation of the Monadology and was augmented by the inclusion of Leibniz's correspondence with Samuel Clarke. Translated by Heinrich Köhler, and with an introduction by Christian Wolff, this edition also forms a contribution to the study of the reception of Leibniz's work by the Wolffian school, which influenced the interpretation of Leibniz not only in terms of style and terminology. Anyone who wants to read Leibniz 'en philosophe' will find this edition invaluable.
