{"product_id":"leibniz-and-the-environment","title":"Leibniz and the Environment","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe work of seventeenth-century polymath Gottfried Wilhelm Leibniz has proved inspirational to philosophers and scientists alike. In this thought-provoking book, Pauline Phemister explores the ecological potential of Leibniz’s dynamic, pluralist, panpsychist, metaphysical system. She argues that Leibniz’s philosophy has a renewed relevance in the twenty-first century, particularly in relation to the environmental change and crises that threaten human and non-human life on earth.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eDrawing on Leibniz’s theory of soul-like, interconnected metaphysical entities he termed 'monads', Phemister explains how an individual’s true good is inextricably linked to the good of all. Phemister also finds in Leibniz’s works the rudiments of a theory of empathy and strategies for strengthening human feelings of compassion towards all living things.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eLeibniz and the Environment is essential reading for historians of philosophy and environmental philosophers, and will also be of interest to anyone seeking a metaphysical perspective from which to pursue environmental action and policy.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Taylor \u0026 Francis Ltd","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54234759725400,"sku":"9781138924918","price":210.8,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0278\/1295\/4195\/files\/9781138924918_fdb325a5-bf95-4ed8-aeb4-6400ca2d0728.jpg?v=1769066137","url":"https:\/\/agendabookshop.com\/products\/leibniz-and-the-environment","provider":"Agenda Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
