The analysis situs is a geometrical project developed by Leibniz during his years in Paris. The aim of this paper is to outline the notion of "situational structure" through the main ideas of the analysis situs. This notion should explain the relation between this geometrical project and his metaphysics, dynamics and the infinitesimal calculus. This should shed some light on some important Leibnizian notions such as infinitesimals, impetus and conatus. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This paper deals with the problem of the ontological status of inter-monadic relations in Leibniz's philosophy. I shall argue that, given (i) Leibniz's notion of substance as a complete being and (2) his characterization of God as a free creator agent, inter-monadic relations cannot be understood as mere entities of reason grounded ab extra on the cognitive operations of the human mind, but instead should be understood as real (relational) properties depending on the inner configuration of individual substances themselves.

The article examines the coherence of German philosopher Gottfried Wilhelm Leibniz's notion of inclining but necessitating and his context of contemporary philosophy of action. The author explained that Leibniz stressed that knowledge inclines the agent towards the best action without necessitating to avoid determinism and indifferentism. On the other hand, his modal theory states that an action is contingent when the opposite is possible.

The article focuses on the criticism of German philosopher Gottfried Wilhelm Leibniz to nominalism. His criticism provides a more powerful logic to the metaphysics as compared to the extensional on one of the late-medieval period. The formulation of Leibniz's ontological arguments was also discussed including its congnoscitive subject.

The article focuses on the influence of the so-call master arguments of German philosopher Gottfried Wilhelm Leibniz. The central subjects of Leibniz's philosophy was discussed including its matter of freedom and destiny. The author explained that Leibniz avoids necessities that allude to the free will and above all to the will of God.

The article focuses on the metaphysics of the pure possibility or the essentialist metaphysics. German philosopher Gottfried Wilhelm Leibniz has been regarded as one of the main steps in the progress of the area wherein some of his text endorsed the idea. The action metaphysics developed by Leibniz in the context of monadology were also discussed.

The article examines German philosopher Gottfried Wilhelm Leibniz's thesis on compossibility. The intimate relation of Leibniz' thesis and the principle of perfection was discussed. On the other hand, the relationship between the absolute divine knowledge and God's perfect will was also taken account. The author described divine wisdom as the background which divine logique can be founded in a non logic instance.

The article discusses the detailed analysis of the concept of possibility similar to German philosopher Gottfried Wilhelm Leibniz. Leibniz's ontological argument and his concept of possibility-complement were also discussed. Several metaphysical situations were also taken account to show the concepts' consistency including the contingency and the possibility of God without any reference to the world of possibility.

The article analyzes Leibnizian senses of temporality to assess German philosopher Gottfried Wilhelm Leibniz's formal and priori notion of time. His notion of time is based on his own modal metaphysics. The author explained that time constitutes the notion which allows the modalities articulation. The role of modal concepts was also discussed.

The article examines the context of German philosopher Gottfried Wilhelm Leibniz's modal ontology. The principles guarding his idea of contingency and principle of the best was also differentiated including the criterion of maximum compossibility. The last criterion that governs the creative election of God was also taken account.

The article examines the keys of the modal ontology of German philosopher Gottfried Wilhelm Leibniz. The connection between Leibniz's work with other modem thinkers was also talked about. The authors have also discussed the problems regarding Leibniz's metaphysics particularly about the existential judgment.

The article examines German philosopher Gottfried Wilhelm Leibniz's treatment of contingency proceeds using certain degrees that are parallel to the systemization of his thought. He was able to sustain the idea of contingency in the book "Confessio Philosophi." In his "Discours de Métaphysique," he defended the idea using several factors including the complete notion of substance and infinite analysis of the truths.
