Description
This abridged edition of Leibniz's New Essays is designed for study and provides an accessible introduction to his philosophical ideas. The work presents a significant confrontation between rationalism and empiricism, as Leibniz engages in point-by-point debates with Locke on human understanding.
The translation has been edited to exclude material not relevant to philosophy, while retaining marginal pagination for ease of reference to the full edition. A philosophical introduction and bibliography have also been included by the translators to provide context for readers.
