Review: Allgemeine deutsche Bibliothek Band 3:2. Stück (1766):44-82.

Leibniz had an extended, albeit one-sided, dialogue with Locke’s Essay. His first encounter (probably with the epitome in Bibliothèque universelle [Locke #38]) resulted in “Réflexions de Mr. L------- sur l’Essay de l’entendement humain de Monsieur Locke” (written in 1695 but first published in 1708). He also drafted (in late 1698?) a review of the Locke-Stillingfleet controversy, first published in 1854. Leibniz tried (unsuccessfully) to interest Locke in further discussion of their differences. His first published response to Locke was in his review of Coste’s French translation of the Essay, published in Monatliche Auszug in 1700. Nouveaux essais was drafted during the first years of the 18th century; however, after Locke’s death, Leibniz lost interest, and the work was not published until 1765.

Nouveaux essais has been often reprinted and translated; the French text is most readily available in: Die philosophischen Schriften von Gottfried Wilhelm Leibniz / herausgegeben von C.I. Gerhardt. – Berlin : Wiedmann, 1875-90. – Bd. 5, Leibniz und Locke (1882); the standard edition is: Nouveaux essais / Gottfried Wilhelm Leibniz ; herausgegeben von der Leibniz-Forschungsstelle der Universität Münster. – Berlin : Akademie-Verlag, 1962. – (Sämtliche Schriften und Briefe. 6. Reihe, Philosophische Schrifter / Gottfried Wilhelm Leibniz ; 6. Band). Both editions also contain the short pieces on Locke.

The first English translation was: New essays concerning human understanding / by Gottfried Wilhelm Leibnitz ; together with an appendix consisting of some of his shorter pieces ; translated from the original Latin, French and German, with notes by Alfred Gideon Langley. – New York ; London : Macmillan, 1896. – xix, 861 p. – Translation of Gerhardt’s 1882 edition; the best English translation is: New essays on human understanding / G.W. Leibniz ; translated and edited by Peter Remnant and Jonathan Bennett. – Cambridge ; New York : Cambridge University Press, 1981. – xcvi, ca. 300 p. – See the review by G.M. Ross, LNL 12:116-126, the reply by Remnant and Bennett, and Ross’s response.
