(2015) The road to universal logic II, Basel, Birkhäuser.
In opposition to, or in the line of, philosophy cannot grow except inside a tradition. This is precisely the issue with contemporary research on diagrammatic thinking. We all agree that it is essential to go back to Peirce or Husserl not only to recognize important roots, to honour significant predecessors, but to recover their insights, to make use of their hypothesis, to recuperate the conceptual instruments that they have been able to put forward. What I propose here is to go back even more in time, to go back to Leibniz. Not to claim for Leibniz as a predecessor of cognitive semantics or of present-day diagrammatic research, but to recall what Leibniz thought out in this respect, to bring into play the conceptual devices he put up, to bear in mind the distinctions he was able to constitute.
