- This book is the culmination of many years of work on Leibniz’s physics. The book involves a combination of historical research and philosophical reconstruction and analysis. It is the first book-length study of Leibniz’s dynamics to appear in English. The book makes a significant and original contribution, in particular by engaging with French and German research on the subject and integrating the contributions from these traditions. It proposes a unique interpretation of Leibniz’s dynamics as a theory of physical causation that privileges structural properties rather than body-to-body relations.
