From the reviews:
“This probing collection of essays paints a fuller picture of Leibniz’s natural philosophy by exploring various facets of his views on natural machines and organisms. … This book goes a long way towards filling a lacuna in existing Leibniz scholarship.” (Michael Futch, Metascience, October, 2012)Editors and Affiliations
