Gottfried Wile Leibniz was one of the central figures of seventeenth-century
philosophy, and a huge intellectual figure in his age. This book from Glenn A.
Harz (editor of the influential Leibniz Review) is an advanced study of
Leibniz\'s metaphysics. Hartz analyzes a very complicated topic, widely discussed
in contemporary commentaries on Leibniz, namely the question of whether Leibniz
was a metaphysical idealist, realist, or whether he tried to reconcile both
trends in his mature philosophy. Because Leibniz is notoriously unclear about
this, much has been written on the subject. In recent years, the debate has
centered on whether it is possible to maintain compatibility between the two
trends. In this controversial book, Hartz demonstrates that it is not possible
to maintain compatibility of idealist and realist views - they must be
understood as completely separate theories. As the first major work on realism
in Leibniz\'s metaphysics, this key text will interest international Leibniz
scholars, aswell as students at the graduate level.
