Written around January 1686, it is the most accomplished systematic expression of Leibniz's philosophy in the 1680s, the period in which Leibniz's philosophy reached maturity. Leibniz's goal in the \u003cem\u003eDiscourse \u003c\/em\u003eis to give a metaphysics for Christianity; that is, to provide the answers that he believes Christians should give to the basic metaphysical questions. Why does the world exist? What is the world like? What kinds of things exist? And what is the place of human beings in the world? To this purpose Leibniz discusses some of the most traditional topics of metaphysics, such as the nature of God, the purpose of God in creating the world, the nature of substance, the possibility of miracles, the nature of our knowledge, free will, and the justice behind salvation and damnation. This volume provides a new translation of the \u003cem\u003eDiscourse\u003c\/em\u003e, complete with a critical introduction and a comprehensive philosophical commentary.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Gonzalo Rodriguez-Pereyra\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0198829043\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780198829041\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Oxford University Press, USA\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 03\/13\/2020\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 206\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.95lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.20h x 6.00w x 0.70d","brand":"Gonzalo Rodriguez-Pereyra","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":43941606981887,"sku":"9780198829041","price":84.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/products\/img_ef3204f5-2a2a-4036-b562-92a5ec63450e.jpg?v=1681453903","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/leibniz-gonzalo-rodriguez-pereyra-9780198829041","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
