- Summary:
- Gottfried Wilhelm Leibniz (1646-1716) is one of the most important and influential philosophers of the modern period. He offered a wealth of original ideas in metaphysics, epistemology, ethics, and philosophical theology, among them his signature doctrines on substance and monads, pre-established harmony, and optimism. This volume contains introductory chapters on eleven of Leibniz's key philosophical writings, from youthful works ('Confessio philosophi', 'De summa rerum'), seminal middle-period writings ('Discourse on Metaphysics', 'New System'), to masterpieces of his maturity ('Monadology', 'Discourse on the Natural Theology of the Chinese'). It also covers his two main philosophical books ('New Essays on Human Understanding' and 'Theodicy'), and three of his most important philosophical correspondences with Antoine Arnauld, Burcher De Volder, and Samuel Clarke.
