Leibniz, God and Necessity (Paperback)

Leibniz states that 'metaphysics is natural theology', and this is
especially true of his metaphysics of modality. In this book,
Michael V. Griffin examines the deep connection between the two and
the philosophical consequences which follow from it. Grounding many
of Leibniz's modal conceptions in his theology, Griffin develops a
new interpretation of the ontological argument in Leibniz and
Descartes. This interpretation demonstrates that their
understanding God's necessary existence cannot be construed in
contemporary modal logical terms. He goes on to develop a
necessitarian interpretation of Leibniz, arguing that Leibniz, like
Spinoza, is committed to the thesis that everything actual is
metaphysically necessary, but that Leibniz rejects Spinoza's denial
of God's moral perfection. His book will appeal to scholars of
early modern philosophy and philosophers interested in modal
metaphysics and the philosophy of religion.
