Each volume, issued in a uniform and affordable paperback format, provides a clear, well laid out text together with a comprehensive introduction by a leading specialist, giving the student detailed critical guidance on the intellectual context of the work and the structure and philosophical importance of the main arguments. Endnotes are supplied to expand further on the arguments and explain unfamiliar references and terminology, and a full bibliography and index are also included. The series aims to build up a definitive corpus of key texts in the Western philosophical tradition, which will form a reliable and enduring resource for students and teachers alike. This volume contains Leibniz's most important texts, starting with the Discourse on Metaphysics (1686), which marks the beginning of maturity in Leibniz's ideas, and ending with the Monadology (1714), written in response to requests for a systematic, organized account of his overall philosophy. In between fall other key works including the New System of Nature (1695), the Specimen of Dynamics (1695), Nature Itself (1698), and the Principles of Nature and Grace (1714). Also included in the volume are critical reactions to the Discourse and the New System by Leibniz's contemporaries, Antoine Arnauld, Pierre Bayle, and Simon Foucher, together with Leibniz's responses. All the texts are newly translated into English for this edition, and each is preceded by a summary explaining its background, structure, and content. Also containing a substantial introduction, notes, and bibliography, the volume offers a comprehensive introduction to Leibniz's philosophy.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":50111854805265,"sku":"GOR013859796","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/0198751524.jpg?v=1751226822"},{"product_id":"theodicy-book-gottfried-leibniz-9780875484372","title":"Theodicy","description":"In order to be truly free, must you act arbitrarily? If an event did not happen, could it have happened? Since there is evil, and God could have made the world without evil, did God fail to pick the best course? Grappling with such simple--yet still intriguing--puzzles, Leibniz was able to present attractively his new theories of the real and the phenomenal, freewill and determinism, and the relation between minds and bodies. Theodicy was Leibniz's only book-length work to be published in his lifetime, and for many years the work by which he was known to the world. Fully at home with the latest scienctific advances, Leibniz ultimately rejected the new atomistic philosophies of Descartes, Gassendi, and Hobbes, and drew upon the old cosmology of Aristotelian scholasticism. There could be no conflict, he argued between faith and reason, freedom and necessity, natural and divine law. Ingeniously defending his postulate of pre-established harmony, Leibniz made important advances in the precise analysis of concepts.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"US \/ GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":50135721345297,"sku":"CIN0875484379G","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":51008905281809,"sku":"NIN9780875484372","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ LIKE_NEW \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":51450965262609,"sku":"GOR011052853","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":52126421877009,"sku":"NLS9780875484372","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ VERY_GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":52928356942097,"sku":"CIN0875484379VG","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/0875484379.jpg?v=1750915531"},{"product_id":"discourse-on-metaphysics-and-the-monadology-book-gottfried-leibniz-9781420971736","title":"Discourse on Metaphysics and the Monadology","description":null,"brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"- \/ - \/ -","offer_id":51025181966609,"sku":"","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":51025185374481,"sku":"NIN9781420971736","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/1420971735.jpg?v=1751305436"},{"product_id":"discourse-on-metaphysics-book-gottfried-leibniz-9781537436272","title":"Discourse on Metaphysics","description":null,"brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":51035527020817,"sku":"NIN9781537436272","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/1537436279.jpg?v=1750894679"},{"product_id":"comprendre-leibniz-analyse-complete-de-sa-pensee-book-gottfried-leibniz-9782367886329","title":"Comprendre Leibniz (analyse complete de sa pensee)","description":null,"brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"- \/ - \/ -","offer_id":51061490090257,"sku":"","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":51061492777233,"sku":"NIN9782367886329","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":52149791195409,"sku":"NLS9782367886329","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/2367886326.jpg?v=1751382311"},{"product_id":"monadologia-spanish-edition-book-gottfried-leibniz-9781539513575","title":"Monadologia (Spanish Edition)","description":null,"brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"- \/ - \/ -","offer_id":51677419012369,"sku":"","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":51677419274513,"sku":"NIN9781539513575","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/1539513572.jpg?v=1751055841"},{"product_id":"the-monadology-book-gottfried-leibniz-9781546527664","title":"The Monadology","description":null,"brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"- \/ - \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":53138275467537,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":53138275533073,"sku":"GOR011546280","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/9781546527664.jpg?v=1771477687"}],"url":"https:\/\/www.worldofbooks.com\/en-gb\/collections\/author-books-by-gottfried-leibniz.oembed","provider":"World of Books ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
