Discourse on Metaphysics and Other Essays contains complete translations of the two essays that constitute the best introduction to Leibniz's complete thought: 'Discourse on Metaphysics', a short course in his metaphysics, written in 1686 at the time his mature thought was just crystalising and 'Monadology' of 1714, a summary of Leibniz's mature metaphysics, written late in his long career. These are supplemented with two essays of special interest to the student of modern philosophy, 'On the Ultimate Origination of Things' of 1697, which deals clearly with Leibniz's celebrated doctrine of contingency and creation, and the Preface to his New Essays of 1703-1705, which presents a brief and coherent overview of his epistemological position, particularly as it relates to the empiricism of Locke.

一方麵我們是上帝的imitation,另一方麵我們達不到上帝的完美。Leibniz的這個middle ground不管是從認識論還是從自由意誌感覺都變成kantian problem瞭
評分I very much like his consistency and worldview!
評分rationalists 就是很讓人賞心悅目啊。。。
評分從那天數學課上已經看齣瞭點萊布尼茨的形而上學的端倪。基本論點是:每個substance都映照齣整個世界/上帝。就跟blake的那首詩:“一沙一世界,一花一天堂”一個道理吧。上帝創造萬物並決定瞭萬物的notion/nature/disposition,所以從這個意義上來說,上帝心中有萬事萬物的規劃,但是對於事物來說,這種從上帝和宇宙秩序的角度存在的規劃並不影響自由意誌。他babble瞭一堆後,我的理解就是,在你做決定之前,你是不知道自己會怎樣抉擇的,因此選擇的可能性是存在的。但是因為你的notion從上帝的角度看,其實是決定瞭你的選擇的。可是由於你意識不到這種上帝心中的“決定”,所以你的行為對你自身而言是自由的。但你要相信,不管你怎麼“抉擇”,上帝都能從你的選擇中衍生齣有利於整個宇宙的善。
