Du Châtelet’s Relation to Leibniz and Wolff – Similarities and Differences

拟议的项目旨在促进和进一步详细研究杜夏·<e:2>特雷特与莱布尼茨和沃尔夫的关系。杜夏·特莱特自己对莱布尼茨和沃尔夫的引用主要是指她的形而上学基础，因此是她作品的实质性方面，特别是从哲学的角度来看。该项目的总体目标是通过分析杜夏·<e:2>特莱与莱布尼茨和沃尔夫相比的形而上学贡献，有助于系统地考察她在哲学史上的意义；在它的内容和历史背景中。为此，我们计划邀请著名的莱布尼茨学者杰弗里·麦克多诺作为墨卡托研究员来到帕德博恩，以便将我们对女性哲学家和科学家历史中心Émilie du chtelet的专业知识与他对莱布尼茨和沃尔夫的专业知识结合起来。我们计划通过在帕德博恩举行的大型会议和哈佛哲学史研讨会，鼓励国际知名学者对这一主题的许多方面进行进一步的研究，杰弗里·麦克多诺将在项目期间将该研讨会带到帕德博恩。该项目的目的是最终在一个全面收集卷与详细介绍。该卷将反映该项目的调查结果，关于杜·查特雷特的关系，莱布尼茨和沃尔夫和调查他们的异同。因此，该项目将阐明杜夏·<s:1>特莱特分别从莱布尼茨和沃尔夫那里得到了什么，她与这两位作者的不同之处，以及她与莱布尼茨和沃尔夫的关系必须在什么样的历史背景下被看待。通过这一调查，杜夏·<s:1>特莱在她的形而上学的开篇章节中自己的贡献将变得系统地明显。

The proposed project intends to foster and further detailed research on Du Châtelet’s relationship to Leibniz and Wolff. Du Châtelet’s own references to Leibniz and Wolff refer mainly to her metaphysical foundations and thus to a substantial aspect of her work, especially when seen from a philosophical perspective. The overall aim of the project is to contribute to a systematic investigation of Du Châtelet’s significance in the history of philosophy by analyzing her metaphysical contribution in comparison to Leibniz and Wolff; in its content and its historical context. To this end we plan to bring the renowned Leibniz scholar Jeffrey McDonough to Paderborn as a Mercator Fellow in order to unite our expertise on Émilie du Châtelet at the Center for the History of Women Philosophers and Scientists with his expertise on Leibniz and Wolff. We are planning to encourage further research by internationally renowned scholars on many aspects of the theme through a large conference in Paderborn and through the Harvard History of Philosophy Workshop, which Jeffrey McDonough will bring to Paderborn for the duration of the project. The project is intended to culminate in a comprehensive collected volume with a detailed introduction. The volume will reflect the project’s findings about Du Châtelet’s relationship to Leibniz and Wolff and the investigation of their similarities and differences. As a result, the project will elucidate what it is that Du Châtelet took on from Leibniz or Wolff respectively, where she differs from those authors, and in which historical context her relationship to Leibniz and Wolff has to be seen. Through this investigation Du Châtelet’s own contributions in the context of her metaphysical opening chapters will become systematically evident.
