Research Abstract |
This research offers, for the first time, a grand design in which Samuel Beckett's bizarre descriptions of humans and stones and other incomprehensible images and motifs in his novels and plays that exhibit themselves in accordance with Leibniz's metaphysics, that is, the Monadology. Although the proof of this grand design requires the premise that Beckett had known the Monadology in the depths, the manuscript studies in Reading and in Dublin has revealed that Beckett learned in the 1930s from Windelband's History of Philosophy about the metaphysics of Western thought, including Leibniz's Monadology.
