BOOK
Leibniz: Body, Substance, Monad
Year: 2009 Oxford University Press eBooks Publisher: Oxford University Press
Abstract
Daniel Garber presents a study of Leibniz's conception of the physical world, elucidating his puzzling metaphysics of monads, mind-like simple substances. Tracing the development of Leibniz's thought, Garber shows how dealing with problems about the physical world lead him to a world of animate creatures, and to a world of monads.
