Florian Vermeiren (Belgium KU Leuven)

A Geometry of Sufficient Reason

Space and Quantity in the Works of Spinoza, Leibniz, Bergson, Whitehead, and Deleuze

• Gebundenes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

This book explores and compares the reflections on space and quantity found in the works of five philosophers: Spinoza, Leibniz, Bergson, Whitehead, and Deleuze. What unites these philosophers is a series of metaphysical concerns rooted in 17th-century rationalism and embraced in 20th-century philosophies of process and difference.
