Reviews
As the series editor states, it would take an encyclopedia to do justice to the 17th century philosopher who was considered to be a walking encyclopedia on physics, math, and other subjects as well. In this paperback edition of the 2006 publication titled Historical Dictionary of Leibniz's Philosophy, presented as the first such dictionary, Brown (emeritus, Open U., UK) and Fox (freelance writer/researcher) includes entries spanning his concepts - with the original language terms in brackets - of 'absolute necessity' to 'worlds, possible' and related ideas of other modern philosophers. The dictionary includes a chronology, list of his major philosophical writings, extensive categorized bibliography, and facsimile of the first page of his 'Monadology.' * Book News, Inc. *
