Leibniz's LawLogical consequenceNontransitive reasoningArguments based on Leibniz's Law seem to show that there is no room for either indefinite or contingent identity. The arguments seem to prove too much, but their conclusion is hard to resist if we want to keep Leibniz's Law. We present ...
The most interesting statement in the foregoing is the one that appeals to the senses as part of the proof of the irreducibility of the law of identity and of the reducibility of all other statements to identities. This made it possible to put propositions in the visible form of equations, ...

莱布尼茨一直都是严谨而虔诚的,他的自然神学信念一点都离不开其奠基于微积分之上的严密的形而上学思想。有一件事也可以说明莱布尼茨是一位谦逊的伟人:1704年本来要发表《人类理智新论》,意在回应和批评洛克的《人类理解论》,但随即知悉洛克逝世,不愿批评故人,便取消了发表,因此《人类理智新论》直到1765年才作为遗著...
However, the problem arises if this law is considered along with three other statements that also seem to be true. These statements comprise: (1) a statement of identity, (2) a belief-statement, and (3) a general statement about the relevance of belief to reality. These statements together...
The Identity of Indiscernibles is known as Leibniz's Law Cf., Hesperus and Phosphorus as identical to Venus 5. These great principles of a Sufficient Reason and of the Identity of Indiscernibles change the state of metaphysics, which by their means becomes real and demonstrative; whereas formerl...
He also gave a definition of the law of identity that is now accepted in modern logic. Leibniz created a classification of definitions that was the most complete for his era and elaborated the theory of constructive definitions, as well as other theories. In Leibniz’ work Dissertatio de arte...

some philosophers said that the mind could only be explained in terms of physical matter. Leibniz, on the other hand, believed that the world is made of “monads,” which are not made of matter. Each monad, in turn, has its own individual identity, as well as its own properties that ...
