Rateau's clear mastery of the context and content of Leibniz's theodical project, from its origins to its final form, is worthy of the universal genius himslef. -- Kristen Irwin, The Leibniz Review This scholarly work on Leibniz demonstrates Rateau's erudition and thorough mastery of Leibniz's published oeuvre and relevant secondary literature (collected in a useful bibliography and in chapter endnotes).
