  • - Between Continuity and Transformation
     
    50,00 €

    This anthology is about the signal change in Leibniz¿s metaphysics with his explicit adoption of substantial forms in 1678-79. This change can either be seen as a moment of discontinuity with his metaphysics of maturity or as a moment of continuity, such as a passage to the metaphysics from his last years. Between the end of his sejour at Paris (November 1676) and the first part of the Hanover period, Leibniz reformed his dynamics and began to use the theory of corporeal substance. This book explores a very important part of the philosophical work of the young Leibniz.Expertise from around the globe is collated here, including Daniel Garber¿s work based on the recent publication of Leibniz's correspondence from the late 1690s, examining how the theory of monads developed during these crucial years. Richard Arthur argues that the introduction of substantial forms, reinterpreted as enduring primitive forces of action in each corporeal substance, allows Leibniz to found the reality of the phenomena of motion in force and thus avoid reducing motion to a mere appearance.Amongst other themes covered in this book, Pauline Phemister¿s paper investigates Leibniz¿s views on animals and plants, highlighting changes, modifications and elaborations over time of Leibniz¿s views and supporting arguments and paying particular attention to his claim that the future is already contained in the seeds of living things. The editor, Adrian Nita, contributes a paper on the continuity or discontinuity of Leibniz¿s work on the question of the unity and identity of substance from the perspective of the relation with soul (anima) and mind (mens).

  • von Heikki Haara

    This book centres on Samuel Pufendorf¿s (1632¿1694) moral and political philosophy, a subject of recently renewed interest among intellectual historians, philosophers and legal scholars in the English-speaking world. Pufendorf¿s significance in conceptualizing sociability in a way that ties moral philosophy, the theory of the state, political economy, and moral psychology together has already been acknowledged, but this book is the first systematic investigation of the moral psychological underpinnings of Pufendorf¿s theory of sociability in their own right. Readers will discover how Pufendorf¿s psychological and social explanation of sociability plays a crucial role in his natural law theory. By drawing attention to Pufendorf¿s scattered remarks and observations on human psychology, a new interpretation of the importance of moral psychology is presented. The author maintains that Pufendorf¿s reflection on the psychological and physical capacities of human nature also matters for his description of how people adopt sociability as their moral standard in practice. We see how, since Pufendorf¿s interest in human nature is mainly political, moral psychological formulations are important for Pufendorf¿s theorizing of social and political order. This work is particularly useful for scholars investigating the multifaceted role of passions and emotions in the history of moral and political philosophy. It also affords a better understanding of what later philosophers, such as Smith, Hume or Rousseau, might have find appealing in Pufendorf¿s writings. As such, this book will also interest researchers of the Enlightenment, natural law and early modern philosophy.
