Leave Leibniz for people in academia, you will never get it otherwise. Go back to reading the stoics or whatever other normie phil out there

What order of Leibniz's works do you people recommend? I have only read his Monadology, but I want to get back into him.

>> No.18634506

He is responding to Locke's Essay Concerning the Human Understanding. It's a take-down.

Learn Latin and read Leibniz's entire body of writing.

>> No.18636065

Skip Kant and Spinoza, it's literal trash compared to Leibniz. He already outdid them all in advance. The empiricists and Descartes are the only ones worth reading in addition.

Monadology is a condensed shorthand overview. It is not very useful if you're not already immersed.
The basic course would be Discourse of Metaphysics and Theodicy along the new essays. Get the essay on analysis of notions and truths if you can find it. Leibniz wrote on pretty much every subject so it's more what you want to look at. The correspondence is rabbit hole but contains development and doctrines not found in any essay.
You'll have to read Latin and French to get it all.

>where the fuck do I go from here?
Morons have already said Kant. The actual answer after Leibniz new essays are Malebranche, Berkeley, Maine de Biran, Boutroux, Bolzano, etc, and of course Husserl. It of course depends what particular part of the essays you were more interested in.

>> No.18636717

>>18636321
So yeah I’ll probably get the philosophical essays and the new essays, not sure if the former contains the discourse on metaphysics, in any case I’ll read since it also interests me.
You mentioned Husserl, what do you think is common betweem them? The Ego (transcendental) as a monad?

Around here we say "retroactively refuted"
