Descrizione

Leibniz provides one of the best examples of the key contribution to philosophical historiography of the study and editing of unpublished texts. The publication of a series of logical manuscripts was at the origin of the Leibniz renaissance at the beginning of the twentieth century. In subsequent decades, this renaissance has been fostered by the publication of a wealth of manuscripts in the extraordinary variety of fields of Leibniz’s inquiry – from metaphysics to physics, from mathematics to jurisprudence, from medicine to natural and revealed theology. The study of these texts has transformed historiography on Leibniz, showing how his theoretical interests were part of an ultimately practical, over-arching project of moral and religious inspiration, aiming at the improvement of the human condition and at the promotion of the common good. This paper follows the main phases of this transformation, from Bertrand Russell’s monograph of 1900 to the challenges currently facing Leibniz historiography.
