4.0 out of 5 stars Very good, interesting, but analytical (no surprise I guess), July 15, 2011
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
Broad's analysis of Leibniz's philosophy is very well written, cogent, thoughtful and interesting, but the reader can certainly tell he was a British philosopher writing in the 1950s, as large parts of the work are analytical/logical in nature. And that's fine, he's using the technique in a thoughtful rather than reductive/destructive way, and read along with Woolhouse's "Starting with Leibniz" (an excellent "straight philosophical" intro) I find Broad provides some very helpful insights. It is also a valuable look at what a thoughtful use of a form of "logical positivist"-type analysis can do. Well worth the price!
