Laozi ’s Intercultural Reception: A Journey from Europe to Latin America
At the turn of the 20th century, Latin American publishers began producing Spanish translations of Asian philosophical and religious classics, reflecting a growing fascination with Oriental cultures. This surge in publications was fuelled by emerging transnational esoteric, intellectual, and artistic networks. Among these texts, the Laozi stands out for its remarkable adaptability, undergoing multiple interpretative shifts to align with diverse c…
Monads, situation, and infinite explanation
Many scholars hold that Leibniz's monads are not located in space at all, and some attribute situations to simple substances directly. A more nuanced position is that monads have a situation only indirectly, namely through the situation of their bodies. It has been objected, however, that this intermediate position is untenable since it involves a viciously circular argument. Leibniz is clear that the situation is the basis for the extension. But…
The art of estimation and the mathematization of force in Leibniz
There is No Anima Mundi: Leibniz on the Impossibility of a Soul of the World
The main source of perplexity raised by Leibniz’s (mathematical) argument against the soul of the world stems from the idea that it is the infinity of the universe that precludes it from having a soul. But if this is so, how is it possible that organic bodies, which, having infinitely many parts, are also infinite, are endowed with a soul? The present paper aims to provide a new solution to this puzzle. The solution explains the difference betwee…
Definitions by abstraction and Leibniz's notion of quantity
This paper analyses the abstractionist account of quantity championed by Leibniz, especially in the 1680s. Leibniz introduced the notion of quantity in an indirect way, via an abstraction principle. In the first part of the paper, I identify the context in which this approach arose in light of Leibniz's criticism of his earlier dream of an ‘alphabet of human thought’. Recognising the impossibility of such a project led him to realise that, when d…
Análisis y comparación del concepto de dao en las tres interpretaciones clásicas del Laozi
Se analiza y compara el concepto de dao en los tres comentarios más influyentes del Laozi, y, en particular, cómo las distintas lecturas del dao en los tres textos se relacionan con diferentes épocas históricas, tradiciones, objetivos y autores de los comentarios. Por ejemplo, la tradición de la escuela Huang-Lao, con su interés en teorías cosmológicas y prácticas de autocultivo, impregna el comentario Heshang gong y su visión del dao como princi…
