The paper focuses Spinoza's definition of an "essence" and sketches the chief logical differences subsisting between Spinoza's concept of the essence of the singular entities and Leibniz's one. At the opinion of the author, these differences show the deep heterogeneity subsisting between Leibniz's metaphysics and Spinoza's one even in the so-called "monist" phase of Leibniz's thought (april-october 1676) and can help us to explain why Leibniz could shift so quickly from his 1676 monism to his mature pluralistic views

Abstract
The paper focuses Spinoza's definition of an "essence" and sketches the chief logical differences subsisting between Spinoza's concept of the essence of the singular entities and Leibniz's one. At the opinion of the author, these differences show the deep heterogeneity subsisting between Leibniz's metaphysics and Spinoza's one even in the so-called "monist" phase of Leibniz's thought (april-october 1676) and can help us to explain why Leibniz could shift so quickly from his 1676 monism to his mature pluralistic viewsFile in questo prodotto:
