A fresh translation and in-depth commentary of Leibniz''s seminal text, the
MonadologyLloyd Strickland presents a new translation of the
Monadology, alongside key parts of the
Theodicy, and an in-depth, section-by-section commentary that explains in detail not just what Leibniz is saying in the text but also why he says itThe sharp focus on the various arguments and other justifications Leibniz puts forward makes possible a deeper and more sympathetic understanding of his doctrines.
Written in 1714, the
Monadology is widely considered to be the classic statement of Leibniz''s mature philosophyIn the space of 90 numbered paragraphs, totalling little more than 6000 words, Leibniz outlines - and argues for - the core features of his philosophical system. Although rightly regarded as a masterpiece, it is also a very condensed work that generations of students have struggled to understand.
