This volume addresses philosophical issues raised by P. F. Strawson in his critique of Leibniz's metaphysics. While Strawson uses his interpretation of Leibniz as a counterpoint for his arguments, this book contends that his portrayal is inconsistent with Leibniz's actual worldview. The significance of Leibniz's sources, particularly his correspondence with DeVolder and Des Bosses, is emphasized, but the focus extends beyond historical accuracy. Strawson's views on the nature of individuals have sparked considerable interest among contemporary philosophers, and this response highlights how aspects of Leibniz's thought remain pertinent to modern discussions. The author identifies three ontological levels in Leibniz's philosophy and explores the relationships within and between these levels. A critical distinction is made between full and complete concepts, and it is demonstrated that Leibniz carefully differentiates among the variations of the principle of the identity of indiscernibles. The book argues that irreducible relations must exist among individual substances, aligning with Leibniz's logical framework. It upholds the reality of public space and bodies as objective correlatives of perception. These arguments recast traditional interpretations of Leibniz, fostering broad discussion and ongoing research. The work will interest philosophers, historians of philosophy, logicians, and theologians.
