The Philosophy of the Young Leibniz

The volume gathers a selection of nineteen contributions from an international conference on the seventeenth-century philosopher G. W. Leibniz held at Rice University in Houston. It focuses on the writings by the young Leibniz on a variety of subjects such as mathematics, physics, metaphysics, logic, theology and politics. It also contains a subsection with contributions on the much-debated question concerning the impact of Baruch de Spinoza s philosophy on Leibniz.
The objective of the volume is partly to consider the early texts as philosophical statements in their own right, partly to contribute to the understanding of the evolution and genesis of Leibniz s philosophy by tracing the tenets of his mature philosophy back to their origin.
