According to the received view, Kant's critical revolution put an
end to the kind of metaphysics of which Leibniz's 'Monadology' is
the example par excellence. This volume challenges Kant's claim by
providing a far more nuanced version of philosophy's 'post-Kantian'
tradition that spans from the late eighteenth to the early
twentieth century and brings to light a rich tradition of new
'monadologists', many of whom have been unjustifiably forgotten by
contemporary historians of philosophy. Through this complex
dialogue, monadology is shown to be a remarkably fecund hypothesis,
with many possible variations and developments. The volume's focus
on monadology exposes the depth and breadth of the post-Kantian
period in an original and previously unexplored way and opens up
numerous avenues for future research. Crucially, however, this
volume not only shows that monadological metaphysics did continue
after Kant but also asks the critical question of whether it should
have done so. Consequently, the question of whether monadological
metaphysics could also have a future is shown to be relevant in a
way that was previously almost inconceivable. This book was
originally published as a special issue of the British Journal for
the History of Philosophy.
