Studies of Gottfried Leibniz's moral and political philosophy
typically focus on metaphysical perfection, happiness, or love. In
this new reading of Leibniz, Christopher Johns shows that it is
based on a 'science of right'. Based on the deontic concepts of jus
(right) and obligation, this science of right is established in
Leibniz's early writings on jurisprudence and depended on
throughout several of his major late writings. Johns shows that the
moral rightness of an action is grounded in the rights and
obligations derived from the agent's capacity for freedom. This new
interpretation of Leibniz's moral philosophy compares Leibniz's
positions with Grotius, Pufendorf, Hobbes, Locke, and Kant.
Providing a comprehensive examination of Leibniz's most important
writings on natural right, John's argues that Leibniz, properly
understood, provides a compelling account of the grounds of
morality and of political institutions-an account relevant to
present philosophical debates.
