Locke and Leibniz on Substance gathers together papers by an
international group of academic experts, examining the metaphysical
concept of substance in the writings of these two towering
philosophers of the early modern period. Each of these
newly-commissioned essays considers important interpretative issues
concerning the role that the notion of substance plays in the work
of Locke and Leibniz, and its intersection with other key issues,
such as personal identity. Contributors also consider the
relationship between the two philosophers and contemporaries such
as Descartes and Hume.

Unlike most of the other great philosophers Leibniz never wrote a
magnum opus, so his philosophical correspondence is essential for
an understanding of his views. This collection of essays by
pre-eminent figures in the field of Leibniz scholarship is a most
thorough account of Leibniz's philosophical correspondencee. It
both illuminates Leibniz's philosophical views and pays due
attention to the dialectical context in which the relevant passages
from the letters occur. The result is a book of enormous value to
all serious students of early-modern philosophy and the history of
ideas.
