The Philosophy of Leibniz

by Bertrand Russell

The Philosophy of Leibniz Cover

 

Synopses & Reviews

Publisher Comments:

"The Philosophy of Leibniz" is Bertrand Russell's first strictly philosophical work, and remains one of the most important studies of Leibniz ever published. This work established an approach to studying philosophers of the past that emphasizes the philosophical rather than the historical. In Russell's own words, "Philosophic truth and falsehood, in short, rather than historical fact, are what primarily demand our attention in this inquiry." Russell's interpretation emphasized the logical and deductive power of Leibniz's system in opposition to the standard interpretations that had previously led Russell to believe that "the "Monadology" was a kind of fantastic fairy tale." This paperback edition of "The Philosophy of Leibniz" includes an introduction by John G. Slater of the University of Toronto.

Synopsis:

An important study of Leibniz which emphasizes the logical and deductive power of Leibniz's system, against standard interpretations. It establishes an approach to studying philosophers of the past which emphasizes the philosophical rather than the historical.

Synopsis:

Mr Russell's very brilliant criticism of Leibniz ... is a piece of controversial philosophy as well as a contribution to history.' - Bernard Bosanquet
