Course Description:
In this course we will read Leibniz’s work from the Paris period, 1672-1676. Several of Leibniz’s distinctive positions, particularly in philosophical theology are developed during this period. We will focus on his arguments for the existence of God, his theory of divine attributes, his views on necessity, contingency and possible worlds and his solution to the problem of evil.
