The Principle of Reason (Studies in Continental Thought)

good

This is an essential series of lectures to understand the importance of science and specifically of Leibniz's principle of sufficient reason in Heidegger's later thought. It provides the basis for any inquiry into technology which, in Heidegger's thought, is the latest development of scientific metaphysics. It is also the basis for recent studies of law like Roger Berkowitz's The Gift of Science: Leibniz and the Modern Legal Tradition.

The Indiana University Press edition I received was printed poorly. So bad that I gave up and just ordered a used hardcover, in the hope that if my head aches it's from trying to understand the text, not just from the way it looks on the page.

I have purchased and read this book. In my opinion the very title was relished!: Why must there always be a reason for something? and on/in what grounds does the principle of reason lie? Indeed for anything whatsoever? "Why the why?" Cool subject for me! My 4 year old copy is dog-eared and scribbled on. Those who have purchased this book surely will agree when I say that there are a great many gleanings to be had from this digestible and erudite work. A very satisifying book.

was very good
