Description

Although Leibniz's writing forms an enormous corpus, no single work stands as a canonical expression of his whole philosophy. In addition, the wide range of Leibniz's work—letters, published papers, and fragments on a variety of philosophical, religious, mathematical, and scientific questions over a fifty-year period—heightens the challenge of preparing an edition of his writings in English translation from the French and Latin.

This collection aims to present a selection of Leibniz's philosophical essays, offering readers an insight into the breadth and depth of his intellectual pursuits. Carefully curated, it provides a thoughtful representation of his ideas and contributions across multiple disciplines, making it an invaluable resource for those seeking to understand his profound legacy.

Leibniz: Philosophical Essays is an essential addition to the library of anyone interested in the evolution of philosophical thought and the historical context of this influential thinker.
