Review
'Professor Riley's collection of political writings contributes to a fresh understanding of Leibniz's thought ... It contains an excellent selection from works that deal with everything from ethical theory to practical politics, and thereby constitutes a fine introduction to an area of his work that has not only been sadly neglected but which was of the utmost importance to Leffiniz himself.'

Riley from someone who has studied under the Riley,
By A Customer
This review is from: Leibniz: Political Writings (Cambridge Texts in the History of Political Thought) (Hardcover)
Patrick Riley takes Leibniz to a new Level. As a student of Riley I learned first hand what this book was all about. Exploration of Leibniz both as a philosopher and as a jurisprude were taken into acount in this anthology. This is an excelent companion to his book "Leibniz' Universal Jurisprudence: Justice As the Charity of the Wise." The previously unpublished (and untraslated) works present in this anthology show Leibniz's reaction to rationalist and theological determinism, as well as complement Leibniz's own Theodecy. This is a must buy for anyone who wants to Learn about Leibniz's philosophy, or just read it for fun
