    Book Description

    <B>"A colorful reinterpretation…. Stewart's wit and profluent prose make this book a fascinating read."—Publishers Weekly, starred review</B><BR><BR>Philosophy in the late seventeenth century was a dangerous business. No careerist could afford to know the reclusive, controversial philosopher Baruch de Spinoza. Yet the wildly ambitious genius Gottfried Wilhelm Leibniz, who denounced Spinoza in public, became privately obsessed with Spinoza's ideas, wrote him clandestine letters, and ultimately met him in secret.<BR><BR>"In refreshingly lucid terms" (Booklist) Matthew Stewart "rescues both men from a dusty academic shelf, bringing them to life as enlightened humans" (Library Journal) central to the religious, political, and personal battles that gave birth to the modern age. Both men put their faith in the guidance of reason, but one spent his life defending a God he may not have believed in, while the other believed in a God who did not need his defense. Ultimately, the two thinkers represent radically different approaches to the challenges of the modern era. They stand for a choice that we all must make.

      Observing that Leibniz "could manage simultaneously all the sciences," Bernard de Fontenelle half-seriously proposed that the student of his work should "make several savants from only one Leibniz." Fortunately, the 13 essays contained in The Cambridge Companion to Leibniz ought to make it unnecessary to dissect the great 17th-century polymath. The contributors, all distinguished scholars of Leibniz's work (strangely, though not objectionably per se, also all English speakers), have created a guide suitable for specialists and nonspecialists alike, well worth the attention of anyone interested in Leibniz's philosophy.

      Roger Ariew's biographical essay and Stuart Brown's essay on the 17th-century intellectual backdrop help to situate Leibniz in his milieu. At the center of the Companion, however, are the essays that deal with Leibniz's metaphysics. His early metaphysical work is discussed by Christina Mercer and R.C. Sleigh Jr., who reveal, surprisingly, that it was ultimately motivated by his ambitious project to reconcile Roman Catholics and Protestants. Donald Rutherford examines Leibniz's later metaphysical work, dominated by the theory of monads, which "posits that the only fully real beings are unextended, soul-like substances." David Blumenfeld explains Leibniz's ontological and cosmological arguments for the existence of God; he also discusses Leibniz's famous dictum--ridiculed by Voltaire in Candide--that this is the best of all possible worlds. Other essays deal with Leibniz's work in logic, the philosophy of language, epistemology, physics, and moral philosophy. The Companion concludes with Catherine Wilson's insightful discussion of the reception of Leibniz's philosophy, although she unfortunately ends her historical survey with Kant. --Glenn Branch

      Book Description

      A remarkable thinker, Gottfried Leibniz made fundamental contributions not only to philosophy, but also to the development of modern mathematics and science. At the center of Leibniz's philosophy stands his metaphysics, an ambitious attempt to discover the nature of reality through the use of unaided reason. This volume provides a systematic and comprehensive account of the full range of Leibniz's thought, exploring the metaphysics in detail and showing its subtle and complex relationship to his views on logic, language, physics, and theology.

            Book Description

            Now regarded as the bane of many college students’ existence, calculus was one of the most important mathematical innovations of the seventeenth century. But a dispute over its discovery sewed the seeds of discontent between two of the greatest scientific giants of all time — Sir Isaac Newton and Gottfried Wilhelm Leibniz.

            Today Newton and Leibniz are generally considered the twin independent inventors of calculus, and they are both credited with giving mathematics its greatest push forward since the time of the Greeks. Had they known each other under different circumstances, they might have been friends. But in their own lifetimes, the joint glory of calculus was not enough for either and each declared war against the other, openly and in secret.

            This long and bitter dispute has been swept under the carpet by historians — perhaps because it reveals Newton and Leibniz in their worst light — but The Calculus Wars tells the full story in narrative form for the first time. This vibrant and gripping scientific potboiler ultimately exposes how these twin mathematical giants were brilliant, proud, at times mad and, in the end, completely human.

            5 out of 5 stars Great insights.......2007-05-21

            I really enjoyed this book and found it offered a great many wonderful tidbits to fill in my understanding of the issues. My most recent previous reading on Leibniz was the wonderful book "The Courtier and the Heretic," which covers Leibniz' interrelationship with Spinoza and the two books fit nicely together. It is clear from Bardi's book that there are many more wonderful possibilities out there many of which have been available for years - a book relating Huygens and Leibniz for example. Perhaps this is one of the most wonderful aspects of a book like this. It points to many sources to explore if one is interested in following up. This book clearly details how the situation got so mixed up and why it will forever remain an embarrassment to those who value the advance of reason and wish human frailties would not create so many bumps on the path.

            I did not check these reviews before picking up the book and (not plagiarizing them but independently noting them myself!) found the sheer number of editorial mistakes annoying. One wants to send it back to have it corrected out of habit. These are the sorts of mistakes Word doesn't let happen. I bet I could not even reproduce many of them here without Word automatically correcting them. But I agree this seems to be the editors fault not Bardi's since even if they were Bardi's the editor should have easily caught them. But I myself have seen multiple errors magically appear in a published text that were not there in the original. Perhaps the paperback is corrected? I did not see any mention of this on Bardi's web page either.

            But I have a major point to question concerning Bardi's view that Leibniz's vortex argument has been disposed of by Newton's gravity. Would not Einstein's view of the curvature of space achieve essentially the same explanation of Leibniz'? in short, though the short history following the controversy seemed to make Newton's position on gravity the winner (not as an explanation of movements) hasn't more recent history at least shown both theories useful for different purposes and therefore both correct in context?

            Perhaps my understanding of this issue is wrong? After all, in the short introduction to the Principia in "On the Shoulders of Giants" edited with commentary by Stephen Hawking he seems to suggest the same thing. What gives? What happened to Relativity?

            4 out of 5 stars This is a good read!.......2007-02-09

            I thorougly enjoyed this book. I was not aware of the history of Newton and Leibnitz, and so this was a new subject for me. I really feel that in history classes we should read books like this, because it really opens up mathematics. I am going for phD later this year, and so I am starting to review my mathematics textbooks, such as discrete mathematics and calculus. Reading about the extraordinary men that created calculus and battled over it, made calculus seem to me like a living thing, and actually I am looking forward to reviewing my calculus
            textbook! On the other hand, if you aren't a science geek, this book is still a good read, because it also gives us psychological insights into two brilliant men and the time period in which they lived.

            4 out of 5 stars Bardi Reestablishes What "Genius" Means.......2006-12-29

            Jason Bardi wisely decided not to write a book about mathematics. Instead, "The Calculus Wars" is an informative story about a great era of mathematical discovery. We learn much not only about the primary figures, Leibniz and Newton, and their peers (such as John Wallis and Jacob Bernoulli), but also about the contemporary dilettantes and sycophants that buzzed around them, the most damaging of which were the nobility. Too often scientists and science have been used to prop the worthless ambitions of fops, even to today's Al Gore.

            Bardi is quite right in noting the superiority of Leibniz's notation. He doesn't quite see that Leibniz's universal language was the beginnings of symbolic logic as developed only in the 1800's. Bardi misses one important (and debatable) point, and it is that Isaac Newton created calculus as an indispensable tool for the mathematical development of his new physics. It is the mark of his towering genius that a revolutionary new mathematics was for him simply a means to an end. For Leibniz, calculus was a form of verification that reason could triumph over everything, certainly over the vast landscape of his endeavors. Leibniz is much more the completed Renaissance man, whereas Newton is the scientist of a future that would be molded by his thoughts.

            There are grammatical and typographical errors scattered throughout the book, which jar one's reading. These are clearly not Bardi's fault, rather, some numskull editor at the Avalon Publishing Group cut corners and rushed the book to print. Typical error: Bardi correctly states on page 237 that Newton died in March of 1727, but the incompetent editor didn't catch this line one paragraph later, "He was interred in the nave of Westminster Abbey on March 28, 1726...".

            Despite such potholes, Bardi's book is good reading. In these days, when every Hollywood celebrity is called a "genius", it is good to reestablish the word by proper examples, such as Sir Isaac Newton and Baron Gottfried Leibniz.

            5 out of 5 stars Fascinating.......2006-10-28

            I just got my copy of The Calculus Wars and have been reading it every night. I enjoy the story as well as the information I am learning about history. I am no math buff, but find the insight into both Newton and Leibniz lives interesting and filled with great drama.

            4 out of 5 stars A Most Interesting Piece of History.......2006-10-21

            I loved this book! The author has recounted a fascinating tale about the war that ultimately ensued between Newton and Leibniz as to which one of the two was the first to discover calculus. The author complements his captivating account with highlights of the personal lives of these two individuals, as well as the pertinent politics and daily life in seventeenth and early eighteenth century Europe. The writing style is simple, friendly and quite engaging.

            At first, I hesitated to buy this book, despite my love for the subject matter, because of the less than positive early reviews that it was getting. These reviews seemed to dwell mainly on the book's poor editing. Later reviews seemed more forgiving in that regard and, thus, generally more positive. So, I bought the book, read it and absolutely loved it. I do agree that the many editorial errors, although they don't occur on every page, can be rather annoying and even downright confusing at times. Such errors include word repetitions, misprints, wrong verb tenses, occasional missing words, wrong word order, bad punctuation, etc. It is for that reason alone, i.e., poor editing, that I gave it merely four stars because as far as the subject matter, the writing style and the intense interest that this book generates, it is very easily five-star material. This book should be of particular interest to math, science and history buffs alike.

            3 out of 5 stars The Rationalists vs. The Empiricists.......2005-04-06

            The contents of this book relates to the long debate between rationalism and empiricism. For a book on empiricism, see Dunn, John with J.O. Urmson, and A.J.Ayer (1992) "The British Empiricists;" New York: Oxford University Press. Kant tried to solve this debate with his Critique of Pure Reasoning. But, Kant failed.

            The debate came to an end when a number of linguists discovered (in the 1920s) that 'empirical data are primarily symbolic.' This discovery says that facts are not theory neutral. So, even police facts must be challenged to be sure that police theories of a crime agree with the crime facts. The same is true about a newspaper or TV report.

            This book on Descartes, Spinoza, and Leibniz does not discuss the nature of rationalism and how it fits in the development of knowledge. I also found this book to be short on the thoughts of Leibniz, who challenged Newton's physical world. I recommend that readers expand their knowledge of Leibniz's work by seeking other sources of information. Including Leibniz's monadology in this book was important because his monads are becoming important in the current developments of modern creation theories.

            5 out of 5 stars A superb compendium.......2000-08-16

            The Anchor volume "The Rationalists" is a very handy one-volume compilation of the central texts of 17th Century Continental philosophy. Included are Descartes' "Discourse on Method" and "Meditations," Spinoza's "Ethics," and Leibnitz's "Discourse on Metaphysics" and the "Monadology." The only really famous text excluded here is Spinoza's "De Emendatione," but the inexpensive Prometheus Books paperback of the "Ethics" includes that. This handsome, portable paperback allows one to explore the development of Rationalist thinking chronologically from Descartes to Leibnitz without suffering the bloody-chunks omissions imposed by most undergrad philosophy texts. And the absence of scholarly commentary thankfully allows the reader to immerse herself fully in the preoccupations of these thinkers without constant hectoring about how they "failed"; instead, each of these multifaceted thinkers can prod the reader on their own terms. This is a wonderful volume not only for the philosopher or student of philosophy, but for theologians, historians, and even artists-- these three have much to say that is still pertinent for any reflective person.

              Hackett offers once again an inexpensive translation in lucid prose. This volume features the important shorter works of Leibniz's corpus, including the "Monadology," and "Discourse on Metaphysics," together with Leibniz's correspondence with his contemporaries. Each of the works is prefaced by a short introduction, helpful for placing it in context. Editorial footnotes helpfully point out the nuance of Leibniz's language. Overall, great working translation for philosophical study or research.

              Garber and Ariew did us a great service in pulling these materials together in a single inexpensive volume in English. Their choices for inclusion are terrific. Unfortunately, the same cannot be said for their translations. Especially in the translations from French there are dozens of errors, many of them fairly serious.

              5 out of 5 stars A necessary compendium of a formidable oeuvre.......2000-05-06

              The greatness of Leibniz is undermined by the vastness of his oeuvre. It stands of no single definitive works. Like the monads that he espoused, Leibniz's writings are here, there and everywhere, each bit mirroring the whole--the universe that Leibniz envisioned. Short of an encyclopedia of Leibniz's oeuvre, this book can serve as a nearly-comprehensive collection of the 'goods.' The major pieces are kept in their entirety. Included with the likes of 'Discourse on Metaphysics,' 'New System,' 'Specimen of Dynamics,' and 'The Monadology' are formidable chunks of Leibniz's letters and occasional pieces.

              To do justice to Leibniz is to immerse oneself in this great labrynth of thought. Perhaps one day a Renaissance of Leibnizian studies will flourish on the account of this collection.
