Topics on Philosophy 12 - Monadology - Leibniz

Gottfried Wilhelm Leibniz's Monadology presents a metaphysical system built upon the concept of monads: simple, indivisible substances constituting the universe. These monads possess perception and appetition, internally driven and interacting only ideally through God's pre-established harmony. Leibniz argues for God's existence using the principle of sufficient reason, explaining the universe's order and contingent truths. Finally, he describes a "City of God," a moral realm harmonising with the physical, where the actions of rational souls, reflecting God's nature, find ultimate reward or punishment.
