15Leibniz and the EnvironmentRoutledge. 2016.The work of seventeenth-century polymath Gottfried Wilhelm Leibniz has proved inspirational to philosophers and scientists alike. In this thought-provoking book, Pauline Phemister explores the ecological potential of Leibniz’s dynamic, pluralist, panpsychist, metaphysical system. She argues that Leibniz’s philosophy has a renewed relevance in the twenty-first century, particularly in relation to the environmental change and crises that threaten human and non-human life on earth. Drawing on Leibn…Read more

23Leibniz on Apperception, Consciousness, and ReflectionThe Leibniz Review 2 10-11. 1992.I have awaited Professor Kulstad’s new book since Philosophia first announced its forthcoming publication in 1989.

His ontolog…Read more
