Focusing on Leibniz's dynamics project from 1676 to 1700, this book explores his unique approach to physical causality, emphasizing structural organization over traditional body-to-body interactions. It presents Leibniz's mature concept of force as a form of structural causation linked to the configuration of systems rather than mere motion transfer. By examining the philosophical underpinnings of Leibniz's work, the book reveals the systematic goals and limitations of his physical theories, offering an alternative perspective on the scientific understanding of the late 17th and early 18th centuries.
