Leibniz (1645 -1716) had a lifelong interest in things Chinese and accorded China an important role in his ecumenical endeavors. This collection of his writings presents his comparisons of Chinese and European civilizations and his thoughts on future relations between the two.

"A very timely work because of the increasing impact of China on the rest of the world and because of the profound connections Leibniz uncovered between Western and Chinese civilizations."
