This review is from: Leibniz: Philosophical Writings (Everyman's University Paperbacks) (Paperback)

I refer to this book in cite 139 on page 211 of my book, 'The First Scientific Proof of God.' Although this book on Leibniz was published in 1934 and was reprinted in 1973, 1979, 1981,1983, 1984, and 1987, it is apparent that the readers either didn't understand it or failed to propagate its importance. Since I propagate it in my book by citing Leibniz many times and in specific, on pps. 210-220, its propagation might go this time. I also talk about Leibniz on my website. Search for my website through my book on Google.

In general, I expect that Leibniz and his works in this book will become the new world science once it is propagated and discussed. To help the reader, I present the book's Table of Contents of the book: "Leibniz: Philosophical Writings(1716)" I offer some of my personal research on this book below.
