Entire volume: 4 553 39 pp. seven engraved plates. <br/><br/><em>First printing of the famous Libnitz-issue of Acta Eruditorum published a year after the death of Leibnitz including the renowned obituary by the German philosopher Christian Wolff. In 1706 Leibniz recommended Wolff for the Professorship at Halle the post Wolff held for seventeen years until his dismissal and in 1711 Leibniz sponsored Wolff's membership to the Berlin Academy. It is also mentioned that during the year of Leibniz's death in 1716 Leibniz visited Wolff in Halle when returning to Hanover from Vienna. To honor Leibnitz memory Wolff undertook the project of writing ELOGIUM GODOFREDI GUILIEMI LEIBNITII a treatise of the life of Leibnitz. As early as 1679 George I acting as Leibnitz patron directed him to write the history of the house of Brunswick. Immediately after he began arranging material he had collected. The work was however only the preparatory steps when Leibnitz died in 1716 and the work was never published. The present paper NOTITIA DE HISTORIA BRUNSUICENSI is the only part of the work which could have become a opus magnum with historiography that has ever been published. The volume also contains:Goldbach Christian. Temperamentum Musicum Universale. Pp. 114-15.And many other papers by influential contemporary mathematicians philosophers and historians. </em> hardcover

Pp. 167-69. Entire volume: 2 555 35 pp. five engraved plates. <br/><br/><em>First printing of one of Leibniz's latest publications in which he proposed an interpretation of infinitesimals by a comparison of bodies of different extensions. The paper is a response to to a problem raised by French philosopher and mathematician Antoine Arnauld who wrote an important philosophical work known as "The Logic of Port-Royal" from 1662 and "Geometry" 1667. In the book he includes an example of symbolic rules that he considers to be against our basic intuitions on magnitudes and proportions. His reasoning goes as follows "Suppose we have two numbers a larger and a smaller one. The proportion of the larger to the smaller one should evidently be larger than the proportion of the smaller to the larger one. But if we use 1 as the larger number and - 1 as the smaller one this would lead to 1/-1 > -1/1 which is against the rules of algebra". Heeffer The Methodological Relevance of the History of Mathematics for Mathematics Education 1992.Leibniz saw this as a genuine mathematical problem but argued that the division should be performed as a symbolic calculation. "Following Leibniz the infinite appeared in two forms as the i Contiuous infinite and ii the discrete infinite. The status of the differentials is closely related to the status of the infinite. . As a consequence there is no clear and consistence distinction between continua of different kind related to i geometry and to ii mechanics. .

178260306Toulouse, 1782 et 1788, , 2 ouvrages en 1 volume in-4 de 22 pages et 1 planche, puis de 40 pages, demi-veau moderne, dos lisse portant une pièce de titre, Deux mémoires en édition originale tirés des "Histoire et mémoires de l'Académie royale des sciences, inscriptions et belles lettres de Toulouse" (pages 43-64 du premier volume paru en 1782, et pages 29-72 du troisième volume publié en 1788). Roger Martin, appelé aussi Abbé Martin jusqu'à la Révolution, naquit en 1742 à Estadens dans la Haute-Garonne ; brillant élève de sciences, il fut nommé professeur de philosophie à 20 ans au Collège Royal de Toulouse. Passionné de physique et de mathématique, il parvint à faire instaurer dans ce même Collège un cabinet de physique expérimentale ; les leçons qu'il y professait eurent un grand succès. Dans les deux présents mémoires, lus à sept ans d'intervalle devant l'Académie de Toulouse, l'auteur pose le problèmes de l'infini mathématique à l'aune de la méthode du calcul différentiel initié par Newton et développé par Leibniz, tout en appréhendant ses méthodes nouvelles et modernes par le biais de "la méthode des Anciens, connue sous le nom de méthode d'exhaustion ou des limites".

Apart from a small hole to two leaves in the index affecting ab. one work on each of the four pages it is internally nice and clean. Title-page printed in red and black. Beautiful eng. title-vignette and a few other woodcut vignettes and initials. 4 XVI 2 540 18 pp. <br/><br/><em>First edition thus being the first collected edition of Leibnitz' philosophical works in French and Latin and containing the FIRST PRINTING of one of Leibnitz' most important philosophical works his "Nouveaux essays sur l'entendement humain" New Essays on Human Understanding in which he attacks and refutes Locke and his "Essay on Human Understanding" and gives important testimony to his own philosophical ideas. With its 496 pages this extensive work takes up most of this collection of philosophical works and it also constitutes one of his largest and most important of his philosophical works. As explained by Raspe the editor in his preface to this publication "LES NOUVEAUX ESSAIS SUR L'ENTENDEMENT HUMAIN qui sont la partie principale de recueil sont connûs trés imparfaitement par l'histoire de la Philosophie de Leibnitz que Mr. Ludovici a publiée" p. X and the reason why the work was known even though it had not been published is because of a letter that Leibnitz had written in 1714 in which he explains why he did not wish to publish the work. Raspe quotes the letter p. X from which it becomes clear that Leibnitz had not wished to publish an attack on Locke and his work because Locke had died in 1704 the same year that Leibnitz had actually written the work and because Leibnitz was against publishing refutations of dead authors: "Mais je me suis degouté de publier des refutations des Auteurs morts quoiqu'elles dissent paroitre Durant leur vie & étre communiqués à eux memes". Raspe points to the nobleness of this decision but he also points to what could be other reasons for Leibnitz not wishing to publish his seminal work one of them being that towards the end of his life he died in 1716 he did not wish to enter into any more controversies with the British since he was already engaged in two very important ones that occuopied much of his time and energy: The first concerned the invention of the differential calculus the second was against Mr. Clarke on liberty and important metaphysical and theological questions. Another reason could also be that he did not want to begin controversies with the friends of Locke who at that time were many and important.Locke's "An Essay Concerning Human Understanding" which is the work here being refuted by Leibnitz became the crucial groundwork for the future empiricists with David Hume in the foreground and thus Leibnitz' work though published posthumously probably came to play a bigger role in the history of philosophy than it would have done had it been published just after he wrote it. Few philosophers of his time were susceptible to Leibnitz' ideas and his application of logic to the problems of metaphysics as most of them were far more receptive to Locke's empiricism. However when Leibnitz' "Nouveaux essays." was finally published here in his "Oeuvres philosophiques" in 1765 it became hugely influential and was also an important factor in the development of Kant's transcendental philosophy.The hugely famous work by Locke in which he stated his famous theory that the mind of the newborn is like a blank slate tabula rasa and concluded that all ideas come from experience and that there are no such things as innate principles was generally sharply criticized by the rationalists the most important of them being Leibnitz. Leibnitz' response his "Les nouveaux essays sur l'entendement humain" constitutes the most important of the rationalist responses and it is written in the form of a chapter-by-chapter refutation. He refutes the major premise of Locke's work that the senses are the source of all understanding primarily by adding to this "except the understanding itself" thus going on to distinguish between his three levels of understanding which are part of the centre of his philosophy.For Leibnitz as well as for Locke the great inspiration was Descartes but they chose two fundamentally different directions Locke the materialistic one and Leibnitz the idealistic one. The present work represents the greatest clash between the two giants of late 17th century philosophy. The effect of Leibnitz' work was enormous and among the Germans he invoked a great passion for philosophical studies. Leibnitz represents a striking contrast to both Locke with his empiricism and Spinoza. One earlier collection of some of Leibnitz' works had been printed before this one but it did not contain his "New Essays on Human Understanding" and only consisted of his "Smaller Philosophical Works". This is the German 1740-edition "Kleinere philosohische Schriften". The other writings contained in this publication are "Examen du sentiment du P. Malebranche que nous voyons tout en Dieu" ""Dialogus de connexione inter res & verba" "Difficultates quaedam Logicae" "Discours touchant la methode de la certitude & de l'art d'inventer" "Historia et commendatio charactericae universalis quae simul sit ars inveniendi".Graesse IV:152. </em> hardcover
