A Critical Exposition of the Philosophy of Leibniz

More about the book

The writings of Gottfried Wilhelm Leibniz, a German mathematician and philosopher, significantly influenced various fields, including science, technology, law, and psychology. However, Bertrand Russell, a prominent British thinker, critiqued Leibniz at the turn of the 20th century, suggesting that there was an undisclosed commitment to a specific logic within his philosophy that Leibniz did not openly acknowledge. This tension highlights the complexities and contradictions in Leibniz's intellectual legacy.
