Description: Richard Halpern argues that Leibniz offers a powerful, productive model for transdisciplinary thinking that can push back against the narrowness of the humanities today.
Review Quotes: This engaging and highly original book welcomes the reader into the experience of meeting Leibniz with Richard Halpern as our guide. Proceeding little by little--monad by monad as it were--we go on a journey that is unexpectedly festive, funny, and full of surprises. By carefully selecting themes and passages and providing occasional illustrations from Leibniz's papers, Halpern has deftly created a dazzling series of windows into the world of Leibniz.--Julia Reinhard Lupton, author of Shakespeare Dwelling: Designs for the Theater of Life
