The Leibniz Compromise - Eugenio Colorni

. . . the shift from Eugenioʼs main student interest in science in favor of theoretical philosophy, on one hand, and his post-graduation "German period," on the other (along with the visible maturation of his political awareness), in the end led Colorni to pursue in depth the study of Leibnizʼs original texts. It is therefore possible that his postgraduate thesis, The Youthful Philosophy of Leibniz (1933), contained some foretaste of what would later become a key feature of Colorniʼs Leibniz studies-"translating" Leibnizʼs work into modern terms, so as to make it accessible to contemporary philosophers.
