This book gathers together for the first time an important body of texts written between 1672 and 1686 by the great German philosopher and polymath Gottfried Leibniz. These writings, most of them previously untranslated, represent Leibniz\u2019s sustained attempt on a problem whose solution was crucial to the development of his thought, that of the composition of the continuum.<\/p>\n
The volume begins with excerpts from Leibniz\u2019s Paris writings, in which he tackles such problems as whether the infinite division of matter entails \u201cperfect points,\u201d whether matter and space can be regarded as true wholes, whether motion is truly continuous, and the nature of body and substance. Comprising the second section is\u00a0Pacidius Philalethi<\/em>,Leibniz\u2019s brilliant dialogue of late 1676 on the problem of the continuity of motion. In the selections of the final section, from his Hanover writings of 1677\u20131686, Leibniz abandons his earlier transcreationism and atomism in favor of the theory of corporeal substance, where the reality of body and motion is founded in substantial form or force.<\/p>\n Leibniz\u2019s texts (one in French, the rest in Latin) are presented with facing-page English translations, together with an introduction, notes, appendixes containing related excerpts from earlier works by Leibniz and his predecessors, and a valuable glossary detailing important terms and their translations.<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row _builder_version=”4.20.1″ _module_preset=”default” background_color=”gcid-f5584efe-a07f-4926-882d-1e539cbe465b” global_colors_info=”{%22gcid-f5584efe-a07f-4926-882d-1e539cbe465b%22:%91%22background_color%22%93}”][et_pb_column type=”4_4″ _builder_version=”4.20.1″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.20.2″ _module_preset=”default” custom_margin=”||4px|||” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_icon font_icon=”||fa||400″ icon_color=”gcid-8c5e6700-d7e0-439f-97ec-11cf22418ebf” icon_width=”64px” _builder_version=”4.20.2″ _module_preset=”default” hover_enabled=”0″ global_colors_info=”{%22gcid-8c5e6700-d7e0-439f-97ec-11cf22418ebf%22:%91%22icon_color%22%93}” url=”https:\/\/www.amazon.ca\/Labyrinth-Continuum-Writings-Problem-1672-1686\/dp\/0300205058″ url_new_window=”on” sticky_enabled=”0″][\/et_pb_icon][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row _builder_version=”4.20.2″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_column type=”4_4″ _builder_version=”4.20.2″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_post_nav _builder_version=”4.20.2″ _module_preset=”default” title_text_color=”gcid-8c5e6700-d7e0-439f-97ec-11cf22418ebf” global_colors_info=”{%22gcid-8c5e6700-d7e0-439f-97ec-11cf22418ebf%22:%91%22title_text_color%22%93}”][\/et_pb_post_nav][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" The Labryinth of the ContinuumThe Labyrinth of the Continuum: Writings on the Continuum Problem, 1672-1686\u00a0Paperback \u2013 Sept. 3 2013This book gathers together for the first time an important body of texts written between 1672 and 1686 by the great German philosopher and polymath Gottfried Leibniz.
