Synopsis

Discourse on Metaphysics, Correspondence with Arnauld and Monadology is a philosophical book written by the German philosopher and mathematician Gottfried Wilhelm Leibniz. The book is a compilation of three of Leibniz's most important works, each of which deals with different aspects of metaphysics.The Discourse on Metaphysics is the first work in the book, and it is a philosophical treatise that explores the nature of reality, the existence of God, and the relationship between mind and body. Leibniz argues that the world is made up of individual, self-contained units called monads, which are the fundamental building blocks of reality. He also discusses the concept of pre-established harmony, which suggests that all things in the universe are in perfect harmony with each other because they were created by a perfect and benevolent God.The Correspondence with Arnauld is the second work in the book, and it is a series of letters between Leibniz and the French philosopher Antoine Arnauld. In these letters, Leibniz defends his metaphysical views against Arnauld's objections and critiques. The letters cover a wide range of topics, including the nature of substance, the problem of evil, and the relationship between God and the world.The Monadology is the final work in the book, and it is a short treatise that provides a more detailed explanation of Leibniz's monadology. In this work, Leibniz argues that all monads are self-contained, indivisible, and have their own unique perspectives on the world. He also discusses the concept of pre-established harmony in more detail, and explores the implications of his metaphysical views for ethics and free will.Overall, Discourse on Metaphysics, Correspondence with Arnauld and Monadology is a comprehensive exploration of Leibniz's metaphysical views, and provides a valuable insight into one of the most important thinkers of the early modern period.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.

A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

This book was originally published prior to 1923, and represents a reproduction of an important historical work, maintaining the same format as the original work. While some publishers have opted to apply OCR (optical character recognition) technology to the process, we believe this leads to sub-optimal results (frequent typographical errors, strange characters and confusing formatting) and does not adequately preserve the historical character of the original artifact. We believe this work is culturally important in its original archival form. While we strive to adequately clean and digitally enhance the original work, there are occasionally instances where imperfections such as blurred or missing pages, poor pictures or errant marks may have been introduced due to either the quality of the original work or the scanning process itself.

We appreciate your understanding of these occasional imperfections, and sincerely hope you enjoy seeing the book in a format as close as possible to that intended by the original publisher.
