I don't have to remind you about the philosophical interest of the Meditations, the skeptical arguments that begin the journey, the cogito and the idea of beginning the reconstruction of the world from the self, the proofs for the existence of God and the validation of reason that is supposed to derive from that (as well as the circularity that threatens to overturn the whole enterprise), the proof of the distinction between mind and body and the proof for the existence of the external world. All of these are standard ...

A central figure in this discussion is Thomas Kuhn, whose Structure of Scientific Revolutions has shaped much recent discussion of scientific change in the sixteenth through the eighteenth centuries. It is argued that the simple model of a revolution-an old orthodoxy, followed by a period of instability until it is replaced by a new orthodoxy-does not actually represent how change happened in scientific thought in this crucial period. The essay then suggests a different model for understanding change in the period, the Protestant Reformation. Just as in the Reformation the Catholic Church persisted, so Aristotelian natural philosophy persists through much of the so-called scientific revolution. And just as there were multiple sects of protestants who coexisted with one another, there were many alternatives to the dominant Aristotelianism that coexisted and fought as much with one another as with Aristotelian natural philosophy. Without the master narrative provided by the theme of the scientific revolution, the writing of the history of this period is going to be a very open-ended process.

A general and simplified overview of the way commentaries2 of Leibniz's metaphysics have evolved over the past twenty years or so can be given by observing that we have moved successively through two different frameworks. The first framework concentrated above all on Leibniz's nominalism and can be traced back to Benson Mates's book published in 1986. The second framework insisted rather on Leibniz's idealism, starting from Robert M. Adams's book which came out in 1994. This is not to ...

In these crucial years between about 1695 and 1700, Leibniz was beginning to work out the details of the monadology, what monads are, and how they are to function as the ultimate building-blocks of his metaphysics. In this essay, Daniel Garber looks carefully at the development of the argument in those years, as Leibniz’s view was undergoing what has to be regarded as a major shift. He begins by reviewing what he takes to be Leibniz’s position in what he has called his middle years, the years between the late 1670s and the mid-1690s, before monads, when Leibniz’s view of the world was grounded in corporeal substances. He then traces at least one of the paths by which monads came into Leibniz’s world during those important years of transition.

Kant's writings about Descartes, Leibniz, Locke, Berkeley, and Hume have been so influential that it has often been difficult to see these predecessors on any terms but Kant's own. In Kant and the Early Moderns, Daniel Garber and Béatrice Longuenesse bring together some of the world's leading historians of philosophy to consider Kant in relation to these earlier thinkers. ...

Cabe decir que el concepto de sustancia va a ser objeto de buenas discusiones en la historia de la filosofía, pues unos lo proponen como el fundamento metafísico que da homogeneidad a cuanto existe y a cuanto pensamos; mientras que otros lo rechazan como un estorbo para el desarrollo de la ciencia. Hagan sus apuestas, pues filosofar no sólo es comprender la postura de un autor sobre un problema netamente humano, sino seguir sus similitudes y diferencias con las posturas de otros autores. En el caso de este libro, el problema es aclarar qué es lo que permanece a pesar de los cambios. Se trata de un problema que tratamos desde diversas preocupaciones filosóficas como individualidad, identidad personal, cambio, regularidad, etcétera.
En este libro nos centramos en: Spinoza, Locke, Leibniz, Berkeley, Hume, Kant y Hegel.
