Leibniz’s Letters and Encounters about Infinity

In this website we seek to develop a model for presenting Leibniz’s letters and encounters about infinity in a digital fashion. The goal is to make some of these important documents available in an accurate form and translation, as well as present them in their historical context.

For the time being, we seek to experiment with the most useful way of presenting these letters and encounters. We shall begin by presenting several specimens from the Leibniz and Des Bosses correspondence; a sample of an encounter, consisting of Leibniz’s response to Pascal.
