Russell’s engagement with Leibniz set the stage for his break with the neo-Hegelian influence of British Idealism, predominant in late-nineteenth-century British philosophy, particularly at Cambridge where Russell was under tutelage of Ellis McTaggart. The foundations for this break with the ‘historical spirit’ of Hegelianism had been laid with Russell’s reading of Leibniz in the summer of 1898 and was initially expressed in his lectures on Leibniz given at Trinity College in 1899, on which the book is based.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe aim of the book is, in Russell’s own words, ’to attempt a \u003cem\u003ereconstruction\u003c\/em\u003e of the system, which Leibniz should have written’ (p. 2). Although at this early stage of his career Russell had not formulated an alternative form of logical analysis, the results of his engagement with Leibniz would later contribute emphatically to the foundation of the British Analytic tradition.\u003c\/p\u003e\n","brand":"Maggs Bros.","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48478169989277,"sku":"263420","price":600.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0669\/0045\/9677\/files\/263420_02.jpg?v=1782141312","url":"https:\/\/store.maggs.com\/products\/critical-exposition-philosophy-leibniz-hg2cqri2","provider":"Maggs Bros.","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
