Philosophical Works of Leibnitz

Martin Duncan George

Description

Whilst the greatest effort has been made to ensure the quality of this text, due to the historical nature of this content, in some rare cases there may be minor issues with legibility. It is not, however, to teachers Of philosophy alone that I commend this volume. The interests and scholarship of Leibnitz were unexampled as respects range and variety. He was eminent in mathematics, physical science, languages, history, theology, philosophy, and belles-lettres. Even his more definitely philosophical writings are framed in accordance with this varied eminence. They therefore contain much which appeals to any person who is inclined at all to approach the problems of philosophy, from whatever point of view. Their style is free from certain characteristics which lovers of good literature Often find repulsive in works of more definitely pedagogical, or systematic and technical, character. Indeed, the principal tenets of Leibnitz are all to be discovered, at least in their inchoate form, in his interesting and instructive letters to various notable persons of his day. It has not been possible for me to compare any considerable portion of this translation with the original. But my confidence in Mr. Duncan's compe tence and accuracy Of scholarship is so great that I have no doubt Of its excellence.
