Leibniz Re-interpreted Hardback
by Dr Lloyd (Manchester Metropolitan University, UK) Strickland
Part of the Continuum Studies in Philosophy series
Hardback
Description
"Leibniz Re-interpreted" tackles head on the central idea in Leibniz's philosophy, namely that we live in the best of all possible worlds.
Strickland argues that Leibniz's theory has been consistently misunderstood by previous commentators.
In the process Strickland provides both an elucidation and reinterpretation of a number of concepts central to Leibniz's work, such as "richness", "simplicity", "harmony" and "incompossibility", and shows where previous attempts to explain these concepts have failed.
Thus the book provides an unignorable reinterpretation of many of the core themes of Leibniz's philosophy.
This clear and concise study is tightly focussed and assumes no prior acquaintance with Leibniz or optimism.
It thus serves as an ideal entry point into Leibniz's philosophy.
