Discourse on Metaphysics (translated 1846)
A series of logical, and controversial theological arguments that
Leibniz prudently chose not to publish during his lifetime. They
assert the existence of a divine perfection and the perfection of
creation. It is this "best of all possible worlds" that Voltaire
satirizes in Candide. He also writes of the grace of God, His
intervention in the world, and the truths revealed by Jesus Christ.
