O princípio da equipolência entre a causa plena e o efeito integral: Leibniz entre Hobbes e Descartes

Abstract

In this article we indicate how Leibniz approaches the Hobbesian conception of causation through his principle of equipollence between entire cause and whole effect while, on the other hand, when it comes to the relationship between the first cause and the world, he is much closer to the Cartesian causal axiom.
