Dificultats de l'optimisme (o sobre dues vacil.lacions de Leibniz)

2006

The article analyzes the Leibnizian theory of optimism in order to assess the role played by two vacillations and their interaction: the first is concerned with what form the history of the best of the possible worlds must have; the second, with the question of apocatastasis. It concludes that both vacillations are related and the way one is solved determines how the other has to be solved.
