Ohad Nachtomy, Professor of Philosophy, Bar-Ilan University, Israel

Ohad Nachtomy is Professor of Philosophy at Bar-Ilan University and a visiting member of the Institute of Advanced Study at Princeton University. His recent books are The Life Sciences in Early Modern Philosophy (OUP 2014) and Machines of Nature and Corporeal Substances in Leibniz (2010), both coedited with Justin E. H. Smith; and Possibility, Agency, and Individuality in Leibniz's Metaphysics (2007).

"...the book constitutes a valuable contribution to Leibniz studies. In connecting Leibniz's discussions of infinity and life, Nachtomy's book helpfully reconsiders Leibniz's metaphysics in light of the recent progress scholars have made in understanding Leibniz's views on the nature of life and vital processes. Living Mirrors will therefore benefit and provide much food for thought for all readers of Leibniz." - Christopher P. Noble, The Leibniz Review

"it can doubtless be said that this book constitutes an important contribution to the study of Leibniz. Contextually and theoretically, it sheds new and relevant light on issues being debated in the current literature and should be of interest to any researcher working in the fields concerned." - Christian Leduc, Journal of the History of Philosophy
