A Geometry of Sufficient Reason: Space and Quantity in the Works of Spinoza, Leibniz, Bergson, Whitehead, and Deleuze

This book explores and compares the reflections on space and quantity found in the works of five philosophers: Spinoza, Leibniz, Bergson, Whitehead, and Deleuze. What unites these philosophers is a series of metaphysical concerns rooted in 17th-century rationalism and embraced in 20th-century philosophies of process and difference.
