Of all the thinkers of the century of genius that inaugurated
modern philosophy, none lived an intellectual life more rich and
varied than Gottfried Wilhelm Leibniz (1646-1716). Maria Rosa
Antognazza's pioneering biography provides a unified portrait of
this unique thinker and the world from which he came. At the centre
of the huge range of Leibniz's apparently miscellaneous endeavours,
Antognazza reveals a single master project lending unity to his
extraordinarily multifaceted life's work. Throughout the
vicissitudes of his long life, Leibniz tenaciously pursued the
dream of a systematic reform and advancement of all the sciences.
As well as tracing the threads of continuity that bound these
theoretical and practical activities to this all-embracing plan,
this illuminating study also traces these threads back into the
intellectual traditions of the Holy Roman Empire in which Leibniz
lived and throughout the broader intellectual networks that linked
him to patrons in countries as distant as Russia and to
correspondents as far afield as China.
