- La libertad posible. Acerca de la noción leibniziana de "inclinar sin necesidad"(2005) Torralba, J.M. (José María)Leibniz, in order to avoid both determinism and indiferentism, says that knowledge inclines the agent towards the best action without necessitating it. According to his modal theory, an action is contingent if the opposite is (logically) possible. The article examines the coherence of Leiniz’s notion of «inclining but not necessitating» in the context of contemporary philosophy of action, profiting from the distinction between reasons and causes. The kind of freedom which is possible according to Leibniz philosophy depends on this question.
- La crítica hegeliana a las conversiones entre modos operadas por Leibniz(2005) Padial, J.J. (Juan José)The Leibniz’s criticism to nominalism provides the metaphysic a more powerful (modal) logic rather than the extensional one of late-medieval period. At the same time he finds a prosecutive way of thinking that allows the systematization of the intelligibility. I maintain that on the formulation of Leibniz’s ontological argument, one can find the cognoscitive subject. Nevertheless, and in a similar way as Hegel, like Leibniz did not elaborate logic of productive action of inteligible possibility, the facticity introduces itself in the subjects of the monada and on the Self.
- Leibniz y el argumento dominante(2005) Fernández-García, M.S. (Mª Socorro)In this article it is exposed the influence that the so-call master argument has in Leibniz. It is emphasized the classic influence that has one of the central subjects of his philosophy as it is the matter of the freedom and the destiny. Leibniz avoids the necessity alluding to the free will and above all to the will of God.
- Espontaneidad de la mónada y metafísica de lo posible en Leibniz(2005) Escandell, J.J. (José J.)Leibniz is considered to be one of the main steps in progress of essentialist metaphysics, also called metaphysics of the pure possibility —there are some Leibniz’ texts that endorse it—. Question is placed in if this fact colours all metaphysical reflection of the Hannover thinker. This research considers action metaphysics that Leibniz developpes in the context of monadology.
- Principio de perfección y composibilidad en la metafísica leibniciana(2005) Casanova, G. (Gloria)This paper tries to approach the leibnician thesis about compossibility in its intimate relation to the principle of perfection. The main question is how to understand the relationship between the absolute divine knowledge and his perfect will in the constitution of the infinite possible worlds. Divine wisdom is the background from which divine logique can be seen as founded in a non logic instance: the fact of God´s existence and his personal structure, which is necessarily related to goddness as freely chosen by his perfect will.
- Si es posible, existe: Una aproximación a la noción de posibilidad desde el Absoluto(2005) Martínez-Priego, C. (Consuelo)Departing from Leibniz’s ontological argument, and specifically from the “possibility-complement” just as it appears in his texts, this article offers a detailed analysis of the very same concept of possibility. This is an attempt at showing its consistency in a very extreme metaphysical situation: the possibility of God without any reference to the world of possibility, contingency or eternal truths. The logic and real possibility, the merely possible, the relationship between possibility, compossibility and the Characteristic, are some of the questions dealt with in this article.
- El tiempo y las modalidades en Leibniz(2005) Haya-Segovia, F. (Fernando)Leibnizian senses of temporality are analized, in order to assess that Leibniz’s formal and a priori notion of time is based on his own modal metaphysics. In this way, we can say that time constitues the notion that allows the modalities articulation (Possibility- Necessity-Contingency) as well as the role of modal concepts allows to control the time.
- La contingencia como composibilidad en G. W. Leibniz(2005) Soto-Bruna, M.J. (María Jesús)The ‘principle of the best’ refered to the actually existing world is at the same time a ‘principle of contingency’ whenever the criterion of maximum composibility is taken into account. As it is well known, this last criterion is that which governs God’s creative election. The paper explains this issue in the context of Leibniz’s modal ontology.
- ¿Qué es una mónada? Una lección sobre la ontología de Leibniz(2005) Rovira, R. (Rogelio)The aim of this paper is to analyse Leibniz’s idea of substance, and the sense in which substance is called simple by the philosopher, in order to find out the essential features of the monad.
