Leibniz’s political and ethical writing long has been neglected, and with this new edition Professor Riley makes available the most representative pieces from Leibniz’s political theory. This new edition, specially prepared for this series, is the first to make a considerable number of Leibniz’s writings available in English, and includes three previously unpublished manuscripts, a selection of political letters, an introduction, notes, and a critical biography.
