Sommario/riassunto

The correspondence between Leibniz and Clarke during 1715-16 focused on the clash between Newtonian and Leibnizian world systems. This text provides an overview and commentary on the dispute, which involved physics, theology and metaphysics. The views are placed in the context of other writings.
