Ohad Nachtomy

4.9/5 (25685 ratings)

Description:This work presents Leibnizs subtle approach to possibility and explores some of its consequential repercussions in his metaphysics. Ohad Nachtomy presents Leibnizs approach to possibility by exposing his early suppositions, arguing that he held a combinatorial conception of possibility. He considers the transition from possibility to actuality through the notion of agency; the role divine agency plays in actualization; moral agency and human freedom of action and the relation between agency and necessity in comparison to Spinoza. Nachtomy analyzes Leibnizs notion of nested, organic individuals and their peculiar unity, in distinction from his notion of aggregates.Nachtomy suggests that Leibniz defined possible individuals through combinatorial rules that generate unique and maximally consistent structures of predicates in Gods understanding and that such rules may be viewed as programs for action.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
