Description

This book reconstructs, both from the historical and theoretical points of view, Leibniz�s geometrical studies, focusing in particular on the research Leibniz carried on in the last years of his life. The main purpose of the work is to offer a better understanding of the philosophy of space and in general of the mature Leibnizean metaphysics, through a pressing confrontation with the problems of geometric foundation. Regarding this scope of problems, the book also deals quite in depth with Leibniz�s theory of sensibility, thus favouring the comparison and contrast between Leibniz�s philosophy and Kant�s transcendentalist solution. The Appendix gives editing to a number of previously unpublished manuscripts on geometry from the Leibniz Archiv.Typham this is the title: Geometry and Monadology Leibniz’s Analysis Situs and Philosophy of Space
