Leibniz: What Kind of Rationalist?

Marcelo Dascal

978-1-4020-8668-7

2008
Edition 1
- A new global picture of Leibniz’s ‘rationalism’ emerges in this book, a picture that comprises many aspects hitherto overlooked. Each chapter contributes to a better understanding of Leibniz’s conception and use of rationality in each field. Beyond that, when viewed side by side, compared, and contrasted, the multi-perspective approach of the book reveals a unique complexity, interconnection, and richness, which goes well beyond the familiar understanding of the label ‘rationalist’ traditionally applied to this intriguing thinker.
- For the first time a collective effort is made to examine in depth and from various perspectives the nature of Leibniz’s theoretical and practical rationalism. Specialists in different domains of Leibniz’s work have gathered in a week-long International Workshop to present and discuss facets of the concept of reason as it is elaborated and employed by Leibniz in these fields, and to inquire about its underlying connections and foundations.
- The book shows that Leibniz’s ‘rationalism’ is not restricted to a concern with expanding and applying a logical and mathematical model of thought and action. What the chapters of this book show is the variety of models Leibniz’s rationalism develops, combines, and makes use of in his variety of endeavours: mathematics, natural science, ethics, law, politics, theology, epistemology, and metaphysics.
- The contributors to this collective volume comprise leading Leibniz researchers from 12 countries, including the scholars in charge of the various Series of the Academy Edition of his writings, as well as young Leibniz researchers who represent the renewed and growing interest in hitherto neglected aspects of his thought.
