First Philosophy, or Ontology: Treated According to the Scientific Method, Containing the Principles of All Human Cognition (1730), PART 1: §§1–78

The Ontology by Christian Wolff is a groundbreaking philosophical work that revolutionized the field of metaphysics in the 18th century.

This comprehensive translation, edited, and annotated edition offers a unique opportunity to explore the seminal ideas of one of the most influential thinkers of the German Enlightenment.

With its focus on rationalism and the use of mathematics to demonstrate scientific propositions, Ontology sets the stage for a Philosophy of Enlightenment that elevates ontology above metaphysics as a science that subsumes it.

This book is a must-read for anyone interested in understanding the foundations of modern philosophy and the evolution of rationalist thought.
