More about the book

This comprehensive interpretation of the philosophy of Gottfried Wilhelm Leibniz (1646-1716) reveals the systematic unity of Leibniz's thought, in which theodicy, ethics, metaphysics, and natural philosophy contribute to a single vision of the best of all possible worlds. The key idea underlying the system is the conception of nature as a harmonious order designed by God to maximize opportunities for the exercise of reason. From this emerges an ethical ideal in which the virtue and happiness of human beings are promoted through the gradual extension of intellectual enlightenment
