Leibniz on justice as "the charity of wise"
pp. 433-462
Abstract
Though G. W. Leibniz (1646–1716) is thought of mainly as a theologian, metaphysician, logician and mathematician (the co-discoverer of calculus), his academic degrees were in jurisprudence and law (Cairns 1949, chap. 8), and he served both the king of Prussia in Berlin and the Emperor in Vienna as "intimate counselor of justice." It is therefore Leibniz the "universal jurisconsult" who will be stressed in the pages that follow.
