In order to avoid the conclusion that everything that exists is necessary, or that all possibles are actual, as Spinoza held, Leibniz argued that not all possible substances are compossible, that is, capable of coexisting. In Leibniz’s view, the compossibility relation divides all possible substances into disjoint sets, each of which constitutes a possible world, or a way that God might have created things. For Leibniz, then, it is the compossibility relation that individuates possible worlds; and possible worlds form the objects of God’s choice, from among which he chooses the best for creation. Thus the notions of compossibility and possible worlds are of major significance for Leibniz’s metaphysics, his theodicy, and, ultimately, for his ethics.. .Given the fact, however, that none ofthe approaches to understanding Leibniz’s notions of compossibility and possible words suggested to date have gained universal acceptance, the goal of this book is to gather a body of new papers that explore ways of | | 出版日期 | Book 2016 | | 关键词 | Compossibility and Cosmological Interpretation; Compossibility and the Unity of Divine Will; Harmony a | | 版次 | 1 | | doi | https://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-319-42695-2 | | isbn_softcover | 978-3-319-82638-7 | | isbn_ebook | 978-3-319-42695-2Series ISSN 1879-8578 Series E-ISSN 2352-2585 | | issn_series | 1879-8578 | | copyright | Springer International Publishing Switzerland 2016 |
