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.
