"It is impossible not to see in Mr. Russell's work elements of real originality and great power of argument, which together may lead to striking results in the future." From the reviews of the earlier edition: -"The Guardian "Mr. Russell's very brilliant criticism of Leibniz . . . is a piece of controversial philosophy as well as a contribution to history." -Bernard Bosenquet
Russell's first strictly philosophical work, this study remains one of the most important studies of Leibniz ever published. It established an appraoch to studying philosophers of the past that emphasises the philosophical rather than the historical. In Russell's own words, Philosophic truth and falsehood, in short rather than historical fact, are what primarily demand our attention in this inquiry.' His interpretation emphasised the logical and deductive power of Leibniz's system in opposition to the standard interpretations that had previously led Russell to believe that the Monadology was a kind of fantastic fairy tale.
