This volume investigates the complex metaphysical framework Gottfried Wilhelm Leibniz developed to account for the nature of the infinite. The authors, Osvaldo Ottaviani, T. W. Arthur, and Richard, provide a rigorous examination of Leibnizian thought, situating his mathematical and philosophical inquiries within the broader context of seventeenth-century rationalism. By analyzing primary texts, the work argues that Leibniz’s treatment of the infinite is not merely a mathematical convenience but a fundamental component of his ontological system.
