The Gottfried Wilhelm Leibniz Bibliography will require significant work. I will be creating a wikiproject to ask for help with this. The Leibniz Library in Hanover holds the Leibniz Nachlass estate which comprises about 50,000 pieces with about 100,000 sheets, including the manuscripts for all his writings and about 15,000 letters with over 1,000 correspondents.

It's now 302 years since Leibniz's death. Many items have not been transcribed and many more have not been translated into English, nor entered the sphere of public awareness. The goal is to get all of Leibniz's works translated and have easy access/pointers to them.

His work is continuing to inspire people, for example, I just came across a book published in 2016: Leibniz and the environment by Pauline Phemister (Routledge, Taylor & Francis Group). Pauline "argues that Leibniz’s philosophy has a renewed relevance in the twenty-first century, particularly in relation to the environmental change and crises that threaten human and non-human life on earth". She offers that Leibniz frames "a theory of empathy and strategies for strengthening human feelings of compassion towards all living things" which would be useful in structuring environmental action and policy.Emoritz2017 (talk) 06:16, 10 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]
