"'Strickland's excellent collection not only provides a highly accessible entry point to students approaching Leibniz for the first time, but also constitutes a significant contribution to Leibniz scholarship; the selections are fresh and interesting, and succeed in revealing the breadth and depth of Leibniz's philosophy.' Vernon Pratt, Senior Lecturer in Philosophy, Lancaster University 'Since no one or two of Leibniz's works capture the breadth of his thought, Strickland's anthology is a happy solution and fills a neglected niche in hitherto published anthologies.' Daniel J. Cook, Professor Emeritus of Philosophy, Brooklyn College, CUNY"
