Description
Written in 1686, Discourse on Metaphysics is one of the most important and widely published works in the history of philosophy. This translation and commentary by Christopher Johns has much new to offer. Based extensively on the Akademie edition this is the first truly scholarly translation. Also included is historical and philosophical context, detailing Leibniz’s activities during 1685 and 1686, and several letters previously unpublished in English. These letters and texts illuminate important themes found in the Discourse and shed light on the intellectual context of the time which will be of particular interest to scholars and teachers of Leibniz.

Media Reviews
Christopher Johns' English rendition of Leibniz’s Discourse on Metaphysics is a valuable contribution to Anglophone Leibniz studies. For the first time, a closely detailed study of this important text is available to English readers. And the commentary is both informative and philosophically instructive. Johns has placed students of Leibniz in his debt. -- Nicholas Rescher, University of Pittsburgh
