From today's perspective, the logic is the field where Leibniz showed the most originality of his genius, but his logic was almost ignored by his contemporaries and disciples, in part because it was ahead of its time, and part to the fragmentary and "private" logic of Leibniz's writings.
Only in the twentieth century, after releasing Russell in 1900 his hypothesis in "A Critical Exposition of the Philosophy of Leibniz" ("A critical exposition of the philosophy of Leibniz), and if confirmed this hypothesis in 1903 by Couturat , has been the central role they play in the entire system of Leibniz its logical considerations.
As a teenager Leibniz felt attracted to the idea of a language purely Buddharmal way of calculation, and in 1666 wrote his "Dissertatio de Arte Combinatorics" ("Discourse on the combinatorial art), where he outlined a new systematization of Aristotelian syllogisms.
intuited here is amazing and the idea of "gödelización" meant that a concept must be decomposed into primitive concepts that constitute it, the same way that an integer is decomposed into the product of its prime factors, if correlated then the primitive concepts to prime numbers, it may decide by a simple calculation, if a predicate is attributed to a subject or not, it will be if and only if the product corresponding to the subject is divisible by the product associated with the predicate.
primitive concepts should thisr arranged in an alphabet ("characteristica universalis"), whose letters represent these concepts (not "things" denoted by them), the combinations of letters (which respond to the proposals) would be subject to mechanical rules (Leibniz was inspired to his "Ars combinatorial" on Llull's idea of building a "machine to argue.")
This universal alphabet, along with its mechanical rules, was designed to be not only an aid to intuition, but an instrument of discovery of truths overlooked, and the final phase of the philosophers dispute definitively.
The idea of a formal language of universal validity for Leibniz meant naturally the idea of a universal encyclopedia writtenfollowing 4 fundamental rules (their variables refer to properties or classes):
1) "a" is contained in "a";
2) whether "a" is contained in "b" and "b" is contained in "c "then" a "is contained in" c "
3)" a "is equivalent to-no-no" a ";
4)" a "is contained in" b "if and only if non-" b "is contained in non-" a ".
also introduced other rules in which it appears the notion of "properties added" (today we would say intersection or conjunction of sets or, respectively, of statements). This extended the possibilities of logical calculus hitherto known. A Leibniz
should also be the first precise formulation of the "principle of identityindiscernibles Dad "in his treatise" Non inelegans demonstrandi specimen in abstractis "(" Example is not vulgar demonstration abstract):
"a = b" if and only if "a" may be replaced by "b" and vice versa, without altering the truth value of any sentence in which between "a" or "b".
The wording "physics" of this principle is that 2 "things" are equal if they have all else in the universe the same relations.
Leibniz introduced in 1671 in his "Hypothesis Physica Nova" ("Hypothesis on a new physics") a particular theory of the movement with a more abstract, and both are based on atomism.
The central idea of both theories is that the body is resistance to move due to internal movement of the particles that compose them. The hypothesis underlying atomistic
over all physical and metaphysical ideas of Leibniz, but soon he was concerned the problem of physical continuum: the theoretical possibility of dividing endlessly material bodies.
was to avoid the paradoxes that arise from both physical and continuous state of denial, as Leibniz was later taken to the idea that the particles that make up the bodies must be non-material nature, spiritual: hence his doctrine of "monads".
atoms Monads are spiritual and therefore indivisible. In its indivisibility
also follows that the monads "are" the puntHTMLXC was so raised the fundamental problem of monadology Leibniz: How to explain the "apparent" interaction of the bodies, which are composed of monads, each other and with the soul, which is also a monad?
The solution offered by Leibniz, the doctrine of "preestablished harmony" is not plausible, but consistent:
God, the "supreme monad, creating the world, available from the first series of parallel monads, so that activity of each monad of a series "agreed" with the activity of another monad in another series, though none of the 2 activities is the effect of the other.
Leibniz explains his doctrine with a meaningful metaphor: when 2 clocks show the same time it is not because a clock to tell or
