Pauline Phemister Libros

Drawing on the systematic philosophy of Gottfried Wilhelm Leibniz, this book explores an ecological philosophy that connects historical thought with contemporary environmental issues. It serves as a crucial resource for historians of philosophy and environmental philosophers, offering a metaphysical framework to inspire and guide environmental action and policy. Pauline Phemister's insights encourage readers to consider the relevance of Leibniz's ideas in addressing today's ecological challenges.

Pauline Phemister challenges traditional views of Leibniz as an idealist, presenting him instead as a synthesizer of idealism and materialism. She highlights his ontology of living corporeal substances, his blend of sense-experience and reason in epistemology, and a nuanced ethics that acknowledges the interplay of activity and passivity in the universe.
