Clean and fine. <br/><br/><em>Extremely scarce first Latin edition of Leibniz's hugely influential work "Essais de Theodicée sur la Bonté de Dieu la Liberté de L'Homme et L'Origine du Mal" 1710. It is his importent treatise on the goodnes of God the free will of man and the causes of evil in the world The principal subject of the work being the problem of liberty and free will. It is the only larger philosophical work published by Leibnitz himself.The "Théodicée" was a response to skeptical Pierre Bayle who wrote in his work Dictionnaire Historique et Critique that after rejecting three attempts to solve it he saw no rational solution to the problem of evil.The work was composed at the instigation of Sophia Charlotte with whom Leibniz had conversed concerning the views of Bayle. In response to a request from Prince Eugene for an abstract of the Théodicée Leibniz in 1714 wrote the "Principes de la nature et de la grâce fondées en raison and the Monadologie".It is often the case that this Latin edition is followed by the small work "Causa Dei Asserta per Justitiam Ejus." 32 pp. This work is not withbound here.Ravier "Bibliographie des Oeuvres de Leibniz" No 344. - PMM 1710-edition. </em> hardcover

In "Notatiuncula Constructiones Lineae" Bernoulli proposed a solution to non linear equations which today is one of the most common used solutions of the general fluid. Bernoulli equations are significant because they are nonlinear differential equations with known exact solutions. In the "Specimen dynamicum" Leibniz presents a conception of body and force which distinct between primitive and derivative forces and between active and passive forces. This article is regarded as being the clearest exposition of Leibniz' dynamics. DSB VII 151b."The first attempt at a detailed account of the dynamics was a long dialogue the "Phoranomus seu de potentia et legibus naturae" written in July 1689 while Leibniz was in Rome. This was quickly followed be the composition of the massive Dynamica de potential et legibus naturae corporeae 1689-90 . Though it was written with the intention of publication and though Leibniz work at publishing it he never considered it entirely finished and it remained unpublished during his lifetime.The later . he finally revealed some of the metaphysical foundations of the project in an essay the present paper." Garber Daniel. Leibniz: body substance monad. 2009. 132 p."Its title suggests a summary of or a selection from the earlier work . However it actually contains something in a way rather more interesting: a careful exposition of the metaphysical foundations of the new science something that is hard to find in the old Dynamica or any of the more Technical pieces."

Up until 1693 the method of fluxions which had been invented by Newton and had been of great assistance to him in his mathematical investigations was still except to Newton and his friends a secret. Newton admirers in the Netherlands informed him that the method of fluxions had been introduced there under the name of Gottfried Leibniz's Calculus Differentialis. In 1699 Nicolas Fatio de Duillier published a tract in which he stated that Newton was by several years the first inventor of the calculus and insinuated that Leibniz had stolen the idea. It was the start of a serious controversy between Leibniz and Newton carried on by their followers for years after both famous mathematicians had died. In this article in the Acta Eruditorum Leibniz replied to Fatio de Duilleir by citing Newton's letters and the testimony that Newton had rendered to him in the Principia as proofs of his independent authorship of the method.

Entire volume: 2 603 1 pp. plates. <br/><br/><em>First printing of the famous 1696-edition of Acta Eruditorum in which Johann Bernoulli published a challenge to the best mathematicians:"Let two points A and B be given in a vertical plane. To find the curve that a point M moving on a path AMB must follow such that starting from A it reaches B in the shortest time under its own gravity."Johann adds that this curve is not a straight line but a curve well known to geometers and that he will indicate that curve if nobody would do so that year. Later that year Johann corresponded directly with Leibniz regarding his challenge. Leibniz solved the problem the same day he received notice of it and almost correctly predicted a total of only five solutions: from the two Bernoullis himself L'Hospital and Newton. Leibniz was convinced that the problem could only be solved by a mathematician who mastered the new field of calculus. Galileo had formulated and given an incorrect solution to the problem in his Dialogo. But by the end of the year Johann had still not received any other solutions. However Leibniz convinced Johann that he should extend the deadline to Easter and that he should republish the problem. Johann now had copies of the problem sent to Journal des sçavans the Philosophical Transactions and directly to Newton. Earlier that year Johann had accused Newton for having filched from Leibniz' papers. Manifestly both Johann and Leibniz interpreted the silence from June to December as a demonstration that the problem had baffled Newton. They intended now to demonstrate their superiority publicly. But Newton sent a letter dated Jan. 30 1697 to Charles Montague then president of the Royal Society in which he gave his solution and mentioned that he had solved it the same day that he received it. Montague had Newton's solution published anonymously in the Philosophical Transactions. However when Bernoulli saw this solution he realized from the authority which it displayed that it could only have come from Newton Bernoulli later remarked that he 'recognized the lion by its claw'.

How can God be understood to be the ultimate cause asks Leibniz without God being considered as the author of sin a conclusion incompatible with Gods holiness Leibnizs attempts to justify the way of God to humans lead him to deep discussion of related topics: the nature of free choice the problems of necessitarianism and fatalism the nature of divine justice and holiness.

These writings most of them previously untranslated represent Leibniz's sustained attempt on a problem whose solution was crucial to the development of his thought that of the composition of the continuum. The volume begins with excerpts from Leibniz's Paris writings in which he tackles such problems as whether the infinite division of matter entails "perfect points " whether matter and space can be regarded as true wholes whether motion is truly continuous and the nature of body and substance. Comprising the second section is Pacidius Philalethi Leibniz's brilliant dialogue of late 1676 on the problem of the continuity of motion. In the selections of the final section from his Hanover writings of 16771686 Leibniz abandons his earlier transcreationism and atomism in favor of the theory of corporeal substance where the reality of body and motion is founded in substantial form or force. Leibniz's texts one in French the rest in Latin are presented with facing-page English translations together with an introduction notes appendixes containing related excerpts from earlier works by Leibniz and his predecessors and a valuable glossary detailing important terms and their translations. -- with a bonus offer-- .

First printing of these extremely important papers in which Gottfried Wilhelm Leibniz 1646-1716 claimed that he independently of Newton had discovered the principal propositions of his "Principia" and which present us with Leibniz's fundamental physico-mathematical theory his dynamics his concepts of force space and time. 1. : De Lineis Opticis et alia; Excerpta ex literis ad pp.36-38 Tab.

IV Fig. 3. The "Tentamen." constitutes Leibniz's response to Newton's theories about the motion of the celestial bodies. Leibniz can be said to have anticipated the modern mathematical principle of relativity as it is his idea of individual co-ordinate systems and his practical rejection of the Galilean co-ordinate system that Newton adopted. Leibniz opposes Newton's ideas of attractions gravitational forces and calls them "occult qualities". The task of the "Tentamen." was to attain a theory mathematically equivalent to Newton's in accounting for planetary motion and especially for the inverse-square law of Kepler's laws but physically sound and capable of explaining the causes of phenomena. Newton attacked Leibniz's claim of priority in his anonymously published paper "Commercium epistolicum" Phil. Transactions 1714 and states that "in those tracts the principal propositions of that book are composed in a new manner and claimed by Mr. Leibniz as if he had found them himself before the publishing of the said book. But Mr. Leibniz cannot be a witness in his own cause. It lies upon him either to prove that he had found them before Mr. Newton or to quit his claim." The features of Leibniz's mathematical representation of motion as put forward in "Tentamen." are -Empty space does not exist. The world is filled with a variety of fluids which are responsible for physical actions including gravity. - Living force and its conservation are the fundamental notion and principle respectively in the investigation of nature however they do not figure prominently in the study of planetary motion. - Finite and infinitesimal variables are regularly employed in the study of motion and of other physical phenomena. Living force and velocity are finite; solicitation and conatus are infinitesimal. - Accelerated motion whether rectilinear or curvilinear is represented as a series of infinitesimal uniform rectilinear motions interrupted by impulses. I call this 'polygonal representation'. Usually the polygon is chosen in such a way that each side is traversed in an equal element of time dt. In polygonal representations accelerations are reduced to a macroscopic phenomenon. - Propositions are often used to safeguard dimensional homogeneity. Constant factors - such as numerical factors mass and the element of time - are usually ignored in the calculations. -cf. D.B. Meli: Equivalence and Priority. Newton versus Leibniz. pp. 90-91.
