At over 800 pages, it has remained untranslated &#8211; but that&#8217;s now changing. Bill Ross, who completed his PhD at Staffordshire and taught here, had started work on a translation before he died in 2022. Now Joel White has taken up the challenge and has translated the Introduction, &#8216;Ensembles th\u00e9oriques&#8217; &#8211; itself nearing 100 pages. In this important text Serres sets out the cardinal points in a reception of Leibniz&#8217;s work that runs as a current through so much of Serres&#8217; later work.
