    In discussion of Leibniz’s philosophical methodology Donald Rutherford defends the view that Leibniz regarded metaphysics as an a priori demonstrative science. In the course of this discussion Rutherford isolates and tries to deflect a significant challenge for his view, namely the observation that in many of his mature writings on metaphysics Leibniz appears to defend his views by means of a posteriori arguments. I present some prima facie difficulties with Rutherford’s position and then offer an alternative account of how Leibniz (...)

    It is surprisingly difficult to determine what modal strength Leibniz wants to ascribe to his principle of the identity of indiscernibles (PII). I consider this question by examining (i) some direct textual evidence, (ii) Leibniz's main arguments for PII, (iii) Leibniz's presumable response to a prominent contemporary defense of the necessity of PII against Max Black style counterexamples, and (iv) Leibniz's views about the possibility of primitive haecceities. I conclude that Leibniz probably takes PII to be necessary.

    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 (...)

  • Mills Can't Think: Leibniz's Approach to the Mind-Body Problem.Marleen Rozemond - 2014 - Res Philosophica 91 (1):1-28.
    In the Monadology Leibniz has us imagine a thinking machine the size of a mill in order to show that matter can’t think. The argument is often thought to rely on the unity of consciousness and the notion of simplicity. Leibniz himself did not see matters this way. For him the argument relies on the view that the qualities of a substance must be intimately connected to its nature by being modifications, limitations of its nature. Leibniz thinks perception is not (...)

    Es hat sich als ausgesprochen schwierig erwiesen, für Leibniz' Auffassung, daß kontingente Wahrheiten unendlich komplex sind, eine Interpretation zu finden, die diese Auffassung kohärent erscheinen läßt. Dies liegt daran, daß seine Kommentatoren dazu neigen, sich für die unendliche Analyse einer kontingenten Wahrheit am Vorbild eines nicht endenden logischen Beweises zu orientieren. Ich versuche hingegen zu zeigen, daß unendliche Analysen als unendliche Reihe immer komplexerer und detaillierterer physischer Argumente aufgefaßt werden sollten. Ferner versuche ich zu zeigen, daß die Theorie der unendlichen (...)

    Im Falle einer kontingenten Wahrheit 'S ist P' behauptet Leibniz sowohl, daß der Begriff von P im Begriff von S enthalten ist als auch, daß die Verbindung von S und P durch den göttlichen Willen besteht: Wie kann das angehen? Ich beantworte diese Frage, indem ich eine Deutung der Leibnizschen Doktrin von Wahrheit als Enthaltensein und seiner Auffassung vom vollständigen Begriff einer individuellen Substanz anbiete, nach der jene seinen Überlegungen darüber entspringen, inwiefern die 'Neue Wissenschaft' sich mit der traditionellen Unterscheidung (...)
