More generally, I find Arthur’s criticisms of the idealist reading to be a bit too quick and dismissive, and his characterizations of that view at times tendentious, as for example when he portrays it as supposing that bodies are “eliminatively reduced” (228, 285, 291) and do not actually exist (2, 17). The fact nonetheless remains that this book contains much of value. It should be essential reading for anyone interested either in Leibniz’s thinking about the continuum or in the origin and development of his metaphysics.

Organisme et corps Organique de Leibniz à Kant 作者 François Duchesneau

更一般地说，我发现亚瑟对理想主义阅读的批评有点太快和不屑一顾，他对这种观点的描述有时带有倾向性，例如当他将其描绘为假设身体“被消除性减少”时（228, 285 , 291) 而实际上并不存在 (2, 17)。尽管如此，这本书仍然具有很大的价值。对于任何对莱布尼茨关于连续统的思想或他的形而上学的起源和发展感兴趣的人来说，这应该是一本必不可少的读物。S tephen Puryear 北卡罗来纳州立大学
