Description
About the Author
Larry M. Jorgensen is an Assistant Professor of Philosophy at Skidmore College in Saratoga Springs, New York. His main research is in early modern philosophy, with a primary focus on Leibniz's philosophy of mind and, more generally, on the development of the uniquely modern conception of consciousness that developed during the seventeenth century. Samuel Newlands is an Associate Professor of Philosophy at the University of Notre Dame. His main research interests lie in seventeenth century metaphysics and philosophy of religion. He has published mostly on Spinoza and Leibniz, and he is especially interested in the ways their systematic philosophical views intersect discussions in contemporary metaphysics and philosophy of religion.
Reviews
...this volume should stimulate interest in the Theodicy not only among those already working on Leibniz but also among those new to the study of Leibniz, who, we hope, will take the lead from the essays in this volume and deepen the understanding of the Theodicy. * Jenna Donohue and Sean Greenberg, Philosophy in Review *
the essays all make interesting contributions to the literature, and there is something to learn from each of them. Many of them are very good, and the best are excellent and likely to make lasting contributions to the topics that they cover. The volume deserves the attention of anyone concerned with the problem of evil in the early modern period, and will doubtless become a standard reference for those who have an interest in the Theodicy or Leibniz's philosophy of religion. Indeed, absent an English-language monograph on the Theodicy, this book probably stands as the best overall introduction to the work in English, albeit at a quite advanced level. * Paul Lodge, Notre Dame Philosophical Reviews *
