Le Débat Wolffien Sur L'Idéalisme de Leibniz Lors de la Première Diffusion de la Monadologie Latine (2007)
This paper proposes a reconstruction of the Wolffian debate on Leibniz's idealism arising from the initial response to Leibniz's Monadology. This reconstruction requires us to revisit some problems central to the debate: an inaccurate translation of a term in the latin Monadology (le composé is translated as substantia composita); status of body as composed substance; status of elements as simple substances from which bodies result (which goes against the Cartesian conception of substance); status of Leibnizian notions of perception, force and pre-established harmony; status of experience as a holistic and systematic process (which goes against its conception and the tabula rasa in Locke) in the Wolffian response and system. A thorough examination of the founding texts of the response (Bilfinger and Wolff) allows us to reconsider the relation between Leibniz and Wolff from a new perspective.
