Leibniz: Discourse on Metaphysics; Correspondence with Arnauld; and Monadology

Beschreibung

8vo. [4], v-xxi, [3], 3-272, [4] (pages of publisher's advertisements) pp. Grey cloth with navy rules and navy lettering on the front board and spine. Illustrated with a frontispiece: a photograph in black and white of Leibniz' monument in Leipzig. With an introduction by Paul Janet. Translated into English by Dr. George R. Montgomery. The first Open Court edition of these collected works from Leibniz. Contains his Monadology which famously made the claim that we must be living in "the best of all possible worlds", a claim which drove Voltaire to write his devastating satire, Candide. A sharp copy of this English translation of a highlight in modern philosophy. A touch of wear to the boards' corners, else Fine.
