This volume contains more than 60 original translations of papers
written by the German philosopher Gottfried Wilhelm Leibniz
(1646-1716). As well as contributing to Leibniz scholarship, it
functions as an excellent introductory text for students
approaching Leibniz for the first time. By focusing on Leibniz's
numerous shorter philosophical writings rather than his lengthy
and/or impenetrable pieces, this volume aims to be more 'student
friendly' than rival anthologies of Leibniz's work.
Editor-translator, Lloyd Strickland contributes an introduction
explaining the background and content. The translations themselves
are drawn from the key areas of Leibniz's thought and categorised
accordingly. And as the texts are selected from throughout
Leibniz's career, and on a range of topics, together they provide a
balanced picture of Leibniz's philosophy. The book will be
sufficient in itself for Leibniz students, and will prepare them
for other, more difficult volumes of his work. As many of the
selections appear in English for the first time ever (although all
the translations will be original), the book will be of great value
to more advanced students, and to specialists in Leibniz studies.
