The historiography of philosophy has tagged him as a ?rationalist?. But what does this exactly mean? Is he a ?rationalist? in the same sense in Mathematics and Politics, in Physics and Jurisprudence, in Metaphysics and Theology, in Logic and Linguistics, in Technology and Medicine, in Epistemology and Ethics? What are the most significant features of his ?rationalism?, whatever it is? For the first time an outstanding group of Leibniz researchers, some acknowledged as leading scholars, others in the beginning of a promising career, who specialize in the most significant areas of Leibniz?s contributions to human thought and action, were requested to spell out the nature of his rationalism in each of these areas, with a view to provide a comprehensive picture of what it amounts to, both in its general drive and in its specific features and eventual inner tensions. The chapters of the book are the result of intense discussion in the course of an international conference focused on the title question of this book, and were selected in view of their contribution to this topic. They are clustered in thematically organized parts. No effort has been made to hide the controversies underlying the different interpretations of Leibniz?s ?rationalism? ? in each particular domain and as a whole. On the contrary, the editor firmly believes that only through a variety of conflicting interpretive perspectives can the multi-faceted nature of an oeuvre of such a magnitude and variety as Leibniz?s be brought to light and understood as it deserves. 410 0$aLogic, Epistemology, and the Unity of Science,$x2214-9783 ;$v13 606 $aPhilosophy, Modern 606 $aScience$xHistory 606 $aEthics 606 $aLaw$xPhilosophy 606 $aReligion$xPhilosophy 606 $aEarly Modern Philosophy 606 $aHistory of Science 606 $aMoral Philosophy and Applied Ethics 606 $aPhilosophy of Law 606 $aPhilosophy of Religion 615 0$aPhilosophy, Modern. 615 0$aScience$xHistory. 615 0$aEthics. 615 0$aLaw$xPhilosophy. 615 0$aReligion$xPhilosophy. 615 14$aEarly Modern Philosophy. 615 24$aHistory of Science. 615 24$aMoral Philosophy and Applied Ethics. 615 24$aPhilosophy of Law. 615 24$aPhilosophy of Religion. 676 $a193 701 $aDascal$b Marcelo$061972 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910823748503321 996 $aLeibniz: What Kind of Rationalist$93945420 997 $aUNINA
