Leibniz's 'New System' and Associated Contemporary Texts

Gathered here for the first time are all the key texts in a crucial debate in modern philosophy, centred on Leibniz's famous 1695 essay, the "New System of the Nature of Substances and their Communication," in which he introduced his strikingly original theory of metaphysics. All the texts are newly translated and extensively annotated; many appear in English for the first time.
