Sobre lo barroco en la filosofía moderna de Leibniz

Abstract

Leibniz’s baroque philosophy is overelaborate with principles and elements of antique and modern traditions in order to make a defense of god and a peculiar assimilation of modernity. In a random world without principles, chance is the rule and the Nothing reigns over the Something. To avoid the possibility of this disenchanted world, Leibniz’s baroque philosophy multiplies principles and weaves labyrinths of pos- sibilities and holds, furthermore, that this world must be “the best of all possible worlds”. However, the base of this world is not the pristine Beauty of a circular harmony, but existential grace, an elliptic harmony in which evil is possible.
