Philosophical Texts (Oxford Philosophical Texts) by Leibniz, G. W.. paperback edition. ISBN: 9780198751533.

Offering an invaluable introduction to Leibnizs philosophy, this volume collects many of his most important texts, beginning with the Discourse on Metaphysics (1686) and ending with the Monadology (1714). Also included in this work are critical reactions to Leibnizs work by his contemporaries (Antoine Arnauld, Pierre Bayle, and Simon Foucher), together with Leibnizs responses. The editors provide new English translations for all of the texts, preceding each with a summary explaining its background, structure, and content.
