Description
Gottfried Wilhelm Leibniz was hailed as one of the supreme intellects of all time by Bertrand Russell. This outstanding introduction to his philosophy, written by Nicholas Jolley, provides a comprehensive assessment of Leibniz's complex system of thought.
The book begins with an account of Leibniz's life and work, before delving into the core elements of his metaphysics, including his theories on substance, identity, and individuation, as well as his doctrine of monads. Jolley also examines Leibniz's debates over space and time with Newton's champion, Samuel Clarke.
Leibniz's moral and political philosophy is also explored in the book, an often-overlooked aspect of his work. The final chapter assesses Leibniz's legacy and its impact on philosophy, particularly on the work of Immanuel Kant. This second edition has been revised throughout and includes a new chapter on Leibniz and philosophy of language.
