Gottfried Leibniz was a remarkable thinker who made fundamental
contributions not only to philosophy, but also to the development of
modern mathematics and science. At the centre of Leibniz's philosophy
stands his metaphysics, an ambitious attempt to discover the nature of
reality through the use of unaided reason. This volume provides a
systematic and comprehensive account of the full range of Leibniz's
thought, exploring the metaphysics in detail and showing its subtle
and complex relationship to his views on logic, language, physics, and
theology. Other chapters examine the intellectual context of his
thought and its reception in the eighteenth century. New readers and
nonspecialists will find this the most accessible and comprehensive
guide to Leibniz currently available. Advanced students and
specialists will find a conspectus of recent developments in the
interpretation of Leibniz.
