This work presents Leibniz's subtle approach to possibility and
explores some of its consequential repercussions in his
metaphysics. Ohad Nachtomy presents Leibniz's approach to
possibility by exposing his early suppositions, arguing that he
held a combinatorial conception of possibility. He considers the
transition from possibility to actuality through the notion of
agency; the role divine agency plays in actualization; moral agency
and human freedom of action and the relation between agency and
necessity in comparison to Spinoza. Nachtomy analyzes Leibniz's
notion of nested, organic individuals and their peculiar unity, in
distinction from his notion of aggregates.
