Modernity, philosophy of history and conceptual history: Leibniz and Koselleck

In this article some of the fundamental notions of conceptual history (Begriffsgeschichte) by Reinhart Koselleck are used to assess the contribution of G.W. Leibniz to the semantics of the Enlightenment. Specifically, the article analyses the evaluation that Leipzig, the philosopher, makes of the era he lived in, and his philosophy, theory and praxis of history.
