towards the top of the eighteenth century, an intensive switch happened in notions of self and private id.

Leibniz' frühe Schriften sind bisher kaum systematisch erschlossen worden. Weil sich jedoch gerade in ihnen eine epochentypische Problemlösungsgeschichte dokumentiert, geben sie größten Aufschluss über jenes systembildende Hauptmotiv, dessen Folgeprobleme Leibniz' ganze Spätphilosophie differenziert beantworten will: die Harmonisierung der traditionellen Geistmetaphysik mit der kausal-mechanischen Naturerklärung durch die Hypothese vom individual-perspektivisch repräsentierenden geistigen Punkt, der später "Monade" heißen wird.

Dieses Buch rekonstruiert in problemgeschichtlicher Methode erstmals die ganze philosophisch-enzyklopädische Synthese des frühen Leibniz und skizziert abschließend eine neue Deutung der späten Monadenlehre vom Frühwerk aus.
