  1. (1 other version)Intellect, Will, and Freedom.Michael Murray - 1996 - The Leibniz Review 6:25-59.
    Among the many puzzling features of Leibniz’s philosophy, none has received more attention in the recent literature than his position on freedom. Leibniz makes his views on freedom a central theme in his philosophical writings from early in his career until its close. And yet while significant efforts have been concentrated on decoding his views on this issue, much of the discussion has focused on only one facet of Leibniz’s treatment of it. I have argued elsewhere that there are at (...)

  • Leibniz and the Rational Order of Nature.Donald Rutherford - 1995 - New York, NY, USA: Cambridge University Press.
    This is the most up-to-date and comprehensive interpretation of the philosophy of Gottfried Wilhelm Leibniz. Amongst its other virtues, it makes considerable use of unpublished manuscript sources. The book seeks to demonstrate the systematic unity of Leibniz's thought, in which theodicy, ethics, metaphysics and natural philosophy cohere. The key, underlying idea of the system is the conception of nature as an order designed by God to maximise the opportunities for the exercise of reason. From this idea emerges the view that (...)

    The relation between leibniz's logical and his metaphysical views is the subject of much modern scholarship. Some commentators have argued that his metaphysics is based on his logic; others have taken the opposite position. However, Both sides pose the question in terms of 'priority'. On the contrary, I argue that it is likely that leibniz means the psr to play "both" a logical and a metaphysical role. The ambiguity of leibniz's psr indicates that he equates the metaphysical notion of causation (...)

    Dieser Beitrag behandelt das Problem, wie im Hinblick auf Leibniz' Verpflichtungen der Theologie und Logik gegenüber der Schluss vermieden werden kann, dass die wirkliche Welt notwendig existieren muss. Die Argumentation läuft darauf hinaus, dass Leibniz in der Zeit von 1683 bis 1686 seine Position zu dieser Frage fundamental renovierte: Sein Umdenken entstand am Ursprung einer neuen Sicht auf Logik in der Kontingenz und die theologischen Implikationen der freien Handlung Gottes.

    How many formulations of Principle of Sufficient Reason can one find in Leibniz's works? This paper suggests that there are at least two different formulations, which start from different basic concepts, trying to sketch the relations between them and the evolution from the more ancient formulation to the mature one.

    Nach Michael J. Murrays Aufsatz „Leibniz on Divine Foreknowledge of Future Contingents and Human Freedom" ist Leibniz nicht als Kompatibilist zu verstehen. Die göttliche Vorhersehung beruhe nicht darauf, dass menschliche Handlungen mechanischen Gesetzen von Ursache und Wirkung (causa efficiens) gehorchen, sondern auf den für diese Handlungen spezifischen geistigen Gesetzen (causa finalis, moralische Gesetze, etc.). In diesem Aufsatz argumentiere ich, dass Murray die Tragweite des Grundsatzes vom hinreichenden Grund in Leibniz' Philosophie nicht richtig versteht. Des Weiteren zeige ich, dass die Unterscheidung (...)

  • Contingentia Mundi. Leibniz on the World's Contingency.Nicholas Rescher - 2001 - Studia Leibnitiana 33 (2):145 - 162.
    Leibniz' Metaphysik sieht sich mit folgender Aporie konfrontiert: (1) Notwendigerweise gilt: Gott verwirklicht die beste mögliche Wahl. (2) Notwendigerweise gilt: die mögliche Welt, die auf die Beschreibung der tatsächlichen Welt antwortet, ist die beste aller möglichen Welten. (3) Die Existenz der tatsächlichen Welt (als die von Gott erschaffene) ist nicht notwendig, sondern möglich. Diese drei Sätze - die alle von Leibniz anerkannt worden sind - sind gemeinsam allem Anschein nach inkonsistent. Um diese Inkonsistenz zu vermeiden, entwickelt Leibniz eine komplexe Strategie, (...)

    In philosophy, Leibniz is mostly noted for his optimism, e.g., his conclusion that our Universe is, in a restricted sense, the best possible one that God could have created. Leibniz, along with René Descartes and Baruch Spinoza, was one of the three great 17th century advocates of rationalism.

  • On Some Purported Obstacles to Leibniz's Optimalism.Nicholas Rescher - 2005 - Studia Leibnitiana 37 (2):131 - 146.
    Oft ist gegen den leibnizschen Optimalismus eingewendet worden, dass gerade die Struktur der Mannigfaltigkeit des Möglichen den ganzen Entwurf durchkreuzen könnte. Es wird gesagt, dass es möglicherweise keine beste Welt gibt, weil es mehrere optimale Welten geben könnte. Oder ein anderes Beispiel wäre, dass zu jeder möglichen Welt - egal, wie gut sie ist - eine weitere existiere, die besser ist. Der Beitrag argumentiert, dass Leibniz verschiedene Mittel zur Verfügung standen, um diesen Einwänden überzeugend zu begegnen.
