Editorial Reviews
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.' Philosophy --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.
Product Description
Leibniz's political and ethical writing long has been neglected, and with this new edition Professor Riley makes available the most representative pieces from Leibniz's political theory. This new edition, specially prepared for this series, is the first to make a considerable number of Leibniz's writings available in English, and includes three previously unpublished manuscripts, a selection of political letters, an introduction, notes, and a critical biography.
