Leibniz’ Metaphysik heute: Die Synthese von Panlogismus und Pandynamismus

Abstract

Leibniz’s metaphysics is an answer to problems in the XVIIth. and early XVIIIth. centuries. Each epoch has seen these answers in the light of its corresponding ques- tions. This allows a new interpretation of Leibiniz – neither idealistic nor logico-analytical, but dynamic: the static must be completed with the dynamics of possibility, the appetitus of the monads and the conatus of the physical world. This leads to the possibility forms of the facultas nuda, the contents of the dispositio and the potentia or vis , that lead to realization. These forms show themselves as a fruitful perspective for the contemporary problems of the free will, the mind-body problems and the cosmology.
