Reviews
Outstanding examples of what can be called 'analytical history of philosophy': an analysis of a past author's thought conducted with clarity and rigour. * Maria Rosa Antognazza, The Times Literary Supplement *
Leibniz's Principle of Identity of Indiscernibles is both an important and an excellent addition to the literature ... It is not only superbly argued, but also extremely clear, despite the difficulty of the material. I highly recommended it for both specialists and students trying to grapple with such an immensely important part of Leibniz's metaphysics. * Charles Joshua Horn, Journal of the History of Philosophy *
It is a testament to the thoroughness and insight of Rodriguez-Pereyra's enormously valuable study that the further questions it helps to generate promise to be so fruitful. * Michael Della Rocca, Notre Dame Philosophical Reviews Online *
Leibniz's Principle of Indentity of Indiscernibles is a marvellous book. * Samuel Levey, Australasian Journal of Philosophy. *
