The Philosophy of Leibniz: Metaphysics and Language

About this book

Gottfried Wilhelm Leibniz (1646-1716) is one of the most imposing figures in the history of Western thought. In this definitive treatment of his wide-ranging philosophical ideas Benson Mates has brought his own formidable abilities to bear on the unwieldy--and virtually inaccessible--corpus of Leibnizs work. The result is an elegantly written and meticulously reasoned exegesis of the fundamental Leibniz one that is destined to be a cornerstone of Leibniz scholarship for years to come.
