The work of seventeenth-century polymath Gottfried Wilhelm Leibniz
has proved inspirational to philosophers and scientists alike. In
this thought-provoking book, Pauline Phemister explores the
ecological potential of Leibniz's dynamic, pluralist, panpsychist,
metaphysical system. She argues that Leibniz's philosophy has a
renewed relevance in the twenty-first century, particularly in
relation to the environmental change and crises that threaten human
and non-human life on earth. Drawing on Leibniz's theory of
soul-like, interconnected metaphysical entities he termed 'monads',
Phemister explains how an individual's true good is inextricably
linked to the good of all. Phemister also finds in Leibniz's works
the rudiments of a theory of empathy and strategies for
strengthening human feelings of compassion towards all living
things. Leibniz and the Environment is essential reading for
historians of philosophy and environmental philosophers, and will
also be of interest to anyone seeking a metaphysical perspective
from which to pursue environmental action and policy.
