Nouveaux Essais sur L'entendement humaine ("New Essays on Human Understanding") was a chapter-by-chapter rebuttal by Gottfried Leibniz of the John Locke book Essays on Human Understanding. It is one of only two full-length works by Leibniz (the other being the "Theodicy"). Like many philosphical works of the time, it is written in dialogue form.
It was originally written in 1704, but he refrained from publishing it at that time in deference to Locke's death that same year, and it did not see print until 1764, at which time much of Leibniz's philosphy was out of favor.
