Nowe rozważania dotyczące rozumu ludzkiego

Wprowadzenie

Leibniz wrote the work in French in 1703–1704, after Pierre Coste’s French translation of Locke’s Essay had appeared. It is a dialogue between Philalethes, who presents Locke’s views, and Theophilus, who speaks for Leibniz, and follows Locke’s four books chapter by chapter. Against the blank slate Leibniz proposes the image of a block of marble whose veins already outline a figure: innate ideas exist as dispositions. He also introduces “small perceptions”, below the threshold of awareness. Because Locke died in 1704, Leibniz did not publish the work; it appeared only in 1765 and was read in Germany at the time of Kant.
