This title introduces students to the life, work and ideas of
Gottfried Leibniz, taking the reader new to the subject through the
key themes of his writings. Gottfried Leibniz was one of the most
important and influential philosophers of the seventeenth century
and, alongside Descartes and Spinoza, one of the three great
Rationalist thinkers. Covering all the key concepts of his work,
"Starting with Leibniz" provides an accessible introduction to the
ideas of this hugely significant thinker. Thematically structured,
the book leads the reader through a thorough overview of the
development of Leibniz's thought, resulting in a more thorough
understanding of the roots of his philosophical concerns. Offering
coverage of the full range of Leibniz's ideas, the book explores
his work on substance, mind, body, matter, the existence of God,
dynamics and the philosophy of science. Crucially the book
introduces the major influences on Leibniz's thought, including
Aristotle, Plato, Descartes and Spinoza. This is the ideal
introduction for anyone coming to the work of this hugely important
thinker for the first time.
