Discourse on Metaphysics and the Monadology (Dover Philosophical Classics) Cover

 

Synopses & Reviews

Publisher Comments:

In these two works, one of seventeenth-century Germany’s most influential thinkers introduces and develops his characteristic doctrine of monads. Leibniz’ Discourse on Metaphysics provides a unique contribution to the debate on the relations between body and soul, positing both a general harmony among all souls and bodies as well as a particular harmony between rational minds and bodies. The Monadology, perhaps the best known of the author’s writings, offers a concise view of Leibniz’ mature philosophy.

Synopsis:

Two of Leibniz's most studied works. Published in 1686, the Discourse on Metaphysics consists of the philosopher's explanation of individual perception as an expression of the rest of the universe from a unique perspective. The Monadology, written in 1714, offers a concise synopsis of Leibniz's philosophy, establishing the laws of final causes.
