A bold reimagining of Leibniz for readers who care about big ideas and tangible consequences, this book traces the philosopher's daring solution to the deepest puzzles of mind, causation, freedom, and the problem of evil. Moving beyond dry history, it reconstructs pre-established harmony as a living framework: monads as perspectival centers, the Principle of Sufficient Reason as an engine for explanation, and divine choice as a provocative model for modal and ethical ordering. Each chapter pairs close readings of Leibniz's texts with contemporary critique and creative modernization, showing how his insights anticipate debates in consciousness studies, metaphysics, and moral theory while offering unexpected resources for today's science and public life.

Readable yet rigorous, the volume invites philosophers, scientists, and curious readers to rethink how explanation, agency, and value fit together. It promises lively engagement, practical implications for moral and political thought, and a program for future research that translates Leibniz's ambitions into empirically minded frameworks. For anyone seeking a compact intellectual adventure that connects seventeenth-century metaphysics to twenty-first-century questions, this book offers clarity, controversy, and a roadmap for renewed inquiry.
