This book offers a sustained re-evaluation of the most central and
perplexing themes of Leibniz's metaphysics. In contrast to
traditional assessments that view the metaphysics in terms of its
place among post-Cartesian theories of the world, Jan Cover and
John O'Leary-Hawthorne examine the question of how the scholastic
themes which were Leibniz's inheritance figure - and are refigured
- in his mature account of substance and individuation. From this
emerges a sometimes surprising assessment of Leibniz's views on
modality, the Identity of Indiscernibles, form as an internal law,
and the complete-concept doctrine. As a rigorous philosophical
treatment of a still-influential mediary between scholastic and
modern metaphysics, this study will be of interest to historians of
philosophy and contemporary metaphysicians alike.
