Leibniz’s account of corporeal substance in the middle years (1677-1695)
Keywords:
body, Leibniz, metaphysics, corporeal substance.
Abstract
In the present work we analyze Leibniz’s reform of the notion of body between 1677 and 1695 and, from there, we clarify the concept of corporeal substance. First, we develop his critiques to the modern conception of body; second, we examine the changes he proposes to that notion and his redefinition in terms of primitive passive force; third we study his hylemorphic characterization of corporeal substance and we evaluate its place in his metaphysics.Downloads
