Reading Leibniz Today
Rateau, Paul
Reading Leibniz Today - 2014.
90
The way in which we read Leibniz has changed owing to the progressive publication of his writings and to the results obtained by applying the genetic method. Leibniz’s work does not present itself as a full and complete system, but as an open-ended enquiry, endlessly coming back to problems and inventing new conceptual means for solving them. By taking into account drafts, preparatory sketches, corrections and additions, the genetic method aims to grasp the movement of Leibniz’s thought in the making, while respecting the specific status of each text and reserving the possibility of a general interpretation.
