feb 23, 1720 - Monadology - G. W. Leibniz

Description:

A short text which sketches in some 90 paragraphs a metaphysics of simple substances, or monads.
The rhetorical strategy adopted by Leibniz in The Monadology is fairly obvious as the text
begins with a description of monads (proceeding from simple to complicated instances),
then it turns to their principle or creator and
finishes by using both to explain the world.
