La monadología de Leibniz a debate

Mehr zum Buch

The collection explores various aspects of Leibniz's thought, particularly his logical-mathematical rationality and its implications for science and philosophy. Contributions include an examination of Leibniz's conception of a general characteristic art and its combinatorial nature, alongside discussions on the tension between natural history and mathematics within his framework. The text delves into the invention of mathematical transcendence and the complexities surrounding it, as well as the concepts of infinity and continuity in Leibniz's work. Further analysis includes the practical application of Leibniz's "Calculemus!" and its relation to Euclidean elements, exploring representation through central, decentralized, and geometric perspectives. Epistemology is also a focal point, with discussions on the self-constituting monad and its foundational role in modern science. The monadology is presented as the essence of Leibniz's thought, while cognitive theories surrounding universal harmony are explored. The dialogue between law and logic is examined, alongside the spatial implications of monads. The necessity of the principle of reason in understanding the universe's infinite variety is highlighted. Finally, the collection addresses the independence of possibilities and the significance of physical principles in Leibnizian philosophy.
