Paul Strathern
Paul Strathern (born 1940) is a Scots-Irish writer and academic. He was born in London, and studied at Trinity College, Dublin, after which he served in the Merchant Navy over a period of two years. He then lived on a Greek island. In 1966 he travelled overland to India and the Himalayas. His novel A Season in Abyssinia won a Somerset Maugham Award in 1972. Besides five novels, he has also written numerous books on science, philosophy, history, literature, medicine and economics. He is the author of two successful series of short introductory books: Philosophers in 90 Minutes and The Big Idea: Scientists Who Changed the World. His book on the history of chemistry entitled Mendeleyev's Dream (2000) was short-listed for the Aventis Prize, and his works have been translated into over two dozen languages. He is the author of the best-selling The Medici: Godfathers of the Renaissance, Napoleon in Egypt, and The Artist, the Philosopher and the Warrior: Leonardo, Machiavelli and Borgia - a fateful collusion (2009) and The Spirit of Venice: from Marco Polo to Casanova (2012). His recent works include The Periodic Table (2015), "Quacks, Rogues and Charlatans" (2015) and 'The Borgias' (2019) 'Rise and Fall: A History of the World in Ten Empires' (2019). His work on economic history 'Dr Strangelove's Game' (2001) was chosen as a Google business book of the year. Strathern was a lecturer at Kingston University, where he taught philosophy and mathematics. He has one daughter, Oona, who is a writer and journalist. She lives in Vienna with her husband the German futurist and writer Matthias Horx [de], and their two sons.[
Samenvatting
Philosophy for busy people. Read a succinct account of the philosophy of Leibniz in just one hour. Leibniz was the first great German philosopher to produce an all-embracing philosophical system. He came to the remarkable conclusion that space and time do not exist - they are mere superstitious assumptions. Only things exist and only God is able to see things as they truly are - from a perspectiveless viewpoint. Yet the infinite of ultimate objects that make up the world ('monads') are not material: they are metaphysical and thus not subject to the laws of cause and effect. Their apparent interaction is the result of a 'pre-established' harmony that is part of God's creation. Here is a concise, expert account of Leibniz's life and philosophical ideas that is entertainingly written and easy to understand. Also included are selections from Leibniz's work, suggested further reading, and chronologies that place Leibniz in the context of the broader scheme of philosophy.
