Leibniz
Question
Is it worth reading Leibniz? I understood that his view is that the world is perfect, and that Mendelssohn was greatly influenced by him.
I read your books published by Yedioth; is there a need to also read the books Two Carts, Humans as Grass, and What Exists, or are the books I read basically a kind of summary of them?
Answer
I don’t know how to answer a question like whether it is worth reading this book or that one. Each person has his own taste, inclinations, and interests.
As for my books, what you read summarizes the main principles. Various expansions appear in those books.
Discussion on Answer
I don’t know it.
There was a discussion about this yesterday in the website readers’ WhatsApp group.
Still, do you think Leibniz’s philosophy is well-founded and correct? Regarding the way he proves that this world is the best one that could have been created.
