Description
Discourse on Metaphysics and Other Essays contains complete translations of the two essays that constitute the best introduction to Leibniz's complete thought: Discourse on Metaphysics, a short course in his metaphysics, written in 1686 at the time his mature thought was just crystalising, and Monadology of 1714, a summary of Leibniz's mature metaphysics, written late in his long career.
These are supplemented with two essays of special interest to the student of modern philosophy: On the Ultimate Origination of Things of 1697, which deals clearly with Leibniz's celebrated doctrine of contingency and creation, and the Preface to his New Essays of 1703-1705, which presents a brief and coherent overview of his epistemological position, particularly as it relates to the empiricism of Locke.
