Leibniz, probably the last universal scholar of modernity, produced original and innovative achievements in essential fields of knowledge of his time: as a reform-oriented jurist, a multilaterally thinking diplomat, as a mathematician of infinitesimal calculus, as the inventor of a calculating machine, as an organizer of science and as one of the first historians to work in a source-critical manner. Jörg Zimmer knowledgeably exposes Leibniz's basic philosophical ideas and provides an undisguised view of a thinker who can be made fruitful for the philosophical and political thinking of the 21st century in a surprising way. This book is a translation of the original German 1st edition Leibniz und die Folgen by Jörg Zimmer, published by J.B. Metzler, imprint of Springer-Verlag GmbH, part of Springer Nature in 2018. The translation was done with the help of artificial intelligence (machine translation by the service DeepL.com). A subsequent human revision was done primarily in terms of content, so that the book will read stylistically differently from a conventional translation. Springer Nature works continuously to further the development of tools for the production of books and on the related technologies to support the authors. Prof. Dr. Jörg Zimmer studied philosophy and literature in Osnabrück and has been professor of philosophy at the Spanish University of Girona since 1997.
