(2012) New essays on Leibniz reception, Dordrecht, Springer.
As early as 1894, Cassirer began an in-depth study of the writings of Kant, Leibniz, and Descartes, and of Hermann Cohen as well. But it wasn't until the spring of 1896 that he began to attend Hermann Cohen's courses in Marburg. For Cohen, as for the young Cassirer, the philosophy of Leibniz constitutes one of the essential links in the chain of the history of idealism1 (with Plato leading the line-up); it is even a privileged link that elucidates "Kant's relationship to his predecessors" ("Kants Verhältnis zu seinen Vorgängern")2.
