It not only advances our knowledge of a number of philosophically rich exchanges between Leibniz and his contemporaries; it also makes a critical historiographical point regarding the necessity of studying philosophical texts by taking fully into account the genre and the context in which they were written. In doing so it helps set an important agenda for future Anglo-American research in the history of philosophy.'

This collection of essays by pre-eminent figures in the field of Leibniz scholarship is a most thorough account of Leibniz's philosophical correspondencee. It both illuminates Leibniz's philosophical views and pays due attention to the dialectical context in which the relevant passages from the letters occur. The result is a book of enormous value to all serious students of early-modern philosophy and the history of ideas.\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003eContributors\u003cbr\u003e Abbreviations\u003cbr\u003e Acknowledgements\u003cbr\u003e 1.
