Today's event! "Leibniz in His World"

Rediscover Leibniz as an enigmatic person who was all too human

Event Time: 11am PT/2pm ET/7pm UK/8pm CET
“Leibniz in His World”
Audrey Borowski in conversation with Catherine Wilson

Described by Voltaire as “perhaps a man of the most universal learning in Europe,” Gottfried Wilhelm Leibniz (1646–1716) is often portrayed as a rationalist and philosopher who was wholly detached from the worldly concerns of his fellow men. In this event, Audrey Borowski will challenge the image of Leibniz as an isolated genius, revealing instead a man of multiple identities whose thought was shaped by a deep engagement with the social and intellectual milieus of his time. Borowski will show us Leibniz as he was known to his contemporaries, enabling us to rediscover him as an enigmatic young man who was complex and all too human. You can find out more and register here.
