Leibniz - Filozoflar Serisi

Leibniz - The Philosophers Series Book Description "Leibniz is undoubtedly one of the most important philosophers of the Western tradition, but he is also an unusually difficult philosopher. … Many readers have difficulty overcoming their initial resistance to the theory of monads and the claim that this world is the best of all possible worlds. Indeed, all possible worlds The best argument made Leibniz an easy target in the hands of Voltaire in Candide. Another source of difficulty is of an entirely different kind. Although he published a philosophical book, Leibniz never produced a complete exposition of his philosophical theories and arguments. Nicholas Jolley's book, which expresses the kind of philosopher we are dealing with with these sentences, is a work that meticulously overcomes all these difficulties and integrates Leibniz's concepts and philosophical understanding with a clear explanation. In this regard, Jolley, in addition to positioning Leibniz within the framework of his discussions with philosophers such as Descartes, Spinoza and Locke, does not neglect to discuss his views on moral and political philosophy, which are overlooked in Leibniz's studies. Jolley's book is a candidate to be an indispensable guide for Leibniz, whom Betrand Russell calls "one of the greatest minds of all time." (From the Promotional Bulletin)
