Our research investigates the relation between theological issues and the concept of substantial bond created in the dialogue between Leibniz and Des Bosses at the beginning of the 18th century. We propose, against a certain tradition of Anglo-Saxon and French interpretation, that the concept of substantial bond does not arise only as a means of solving the problem of the ontological stat…
We propose an investigation into the deleuzian interpretation of Leibniz that stems from the approximation between the latter and Nietzsche in Deleuze's work. In Difference and Repetition and The Fold, Deleuze emphasizes the obscure and dionysian side of Leibniz, especially in the notion of small perceptions, which comprise a sort of intoxication. We seek to clarify whether Deleuze's inte…
The aim of this research is to investigate Elisabeth's conception of soul from Bohemia in light of her correspondence with Descartes. In her first letters to the philosopher, Elisabeth argues in the following way: contrary to what Descartes defended, the soul would need to have a kind of "non-essential extended function" that could enable its interaction with the body. She believed that, …
This work intends to analyze how Leibniz's philosophy starts to consider bodies as substances from the questioning about transubstantiation raised by Fr. Des Bosses in the correspondence they maintained at the beginning of the 18th century (1704-1716). We infer that in proposing a solution to the problem of Catholic dogma from the data of his own metaphysics, Leibniz also dissolves an obs…
Deleuze argues that Leibniz is the first philosopher of the event since the stoics, inserting Leibniz in a philosophic tradition that opposes the one he is usually associated with: that of Aristotle and Decartes. Such interpretation can be read in light of the deleuzian project of a philosophy of difference, through which the bottomless dethrones the foundation, and sufficient reason lead…
It is to investigate how Descartes opened space for uncertain and confused knowledge in his philosophy, from the consideration of the substantial union between soul and body. In the "tree of knowledge" presented in the preface to his Principles of Philosophy, the root is metaphysics, the trunk to physics and the major branches of mechanics, medicine and morals. It seeks to show that it is…

The present project proposes an investigation into the conceptual problems surrounding the notions of perception and body in the development of Leibniz's last metaphysics. The notion of substance, from the time of the Discourse on Metaphysics to the monadological phase of Leibnizian thought, seems to undergo a reform. The "simple substance" of the Monadology differs greatly from the "indi…
The main objective of this research is to analyze the relevance of Elisabeth da Bohemia's criticisms of the Cartesian notions of virtue and beatitude, concepts that are inserted in the context of Descartes' morals. Therefore, our investigation will be divided into three main moments: I) understanding the importance of the concept of virtue in the Cartesian moral scenario; II) investigate …
At this stage of research we intend to investigate how the debate about the Cartesian soul-body interaction is established in the perspectives of current opinion disputes concerning this question about the classic commentators of the seventeenth century. That is, it seeks to delimit the views on whether substantial union creates a parallelism between the two separate substances or forms c…
