Read the full account

In 1695 Leibniz’s New System of the Nature and Communication of Substances appeared as a dated journal presentation of pre-established harmony. It is not the Theodicy and not the Berlin Academy charter.

Context

SEP and Britannica independently date the 1695 New System. Later Kantian reception is not this print.

Gottfried Wilhelm Leibniz’s documented role is bounded by other offices and collaborators named in the sources below.

Conventional years are 1646–1716. Surviving public files are GWLB Nachlass pages, the Akademie-Ausgabe, SEP, and encyclopedias. Leibniz did not typeset those later pages. Later electronic computers are not this life.

What the sources establish

SEP and Britannica independently describe the 1695 New System publication.

Established: the New System was published in 1695. Not established: a unique philosophy-enrolment series from the article.

Gottfried Wilhelm Leibniz did not file a later UNESCO form, a later Loeb colophon, or a later museum label as a personal act. New System is not Theodicy. Keep 1695 off 1710.
