This volume presents two Leibnizian writings, the Specimen of
Philosophical Questions Collected from the Law and the Dissertation
on Perplexing Cases. These works, originally published in 1664 and
1666, constitute, respectively, Leibniz's thesis for the title of
Master of Philosophy and his doctoral dissertation in law. Besides
providing evidence of the earliest development of Leibniz's thought
and amazing anticipations of his mature views, they present a
genuine intellectual interest, for the freshness and originality of
Leibniz's reflections on a striking variety of logico-philosophical
puzzles drawn from the law. The Specimen addresses puzzling issues
resulting from apparent conflicts between law and philosophy (the
latter broadly understood as comprising also mathematics, as well
as empirical sciences). The Dissertation addresses cases whose
solution is puzzling because of the convoluted logical form of
legal dispositions and contractual clauses, or because of
conflicting priorities between concurring parties. In each case,
Leibniz dissects the problems with the greatest ingenuity,
disentangling their different aspects, and proposing solutions
always reasonable and sometimes surprising. And he does not refrain
from peppering his intellectual acrobatics with some humorous
comments.
