This collection of essays aims to change readers' perceptions of Leibniz and of the 17th century. Dealing with such subjects as Leibniz's occult sources, his interest in mysticism, Kabbalah, and Chinese philosophy, and his attitude towards enthusiasm, this text provides insights into Leibniz's thought and the cultural context in which he lived. The individual essays bring forward new primary material, while at the same time conserving the valuable aspects of older commentators on Leibniz (Baruzi, Meyer, Loemker). The authors frequently disagree which should provoke discussion and debate.
