A noção de "possível em si" e a solução leibniziana do problema da liberdade
Abstract
Neste artigo mostro como uma das soluções de Leibniz para conciliar a liberdade com o determinismo, a saber, o recurso à noção de "possível em si", fracassa tanto no caso da liberdade divina quanto no caso da liberdade humana. Segundo essa solução, o conceito de ser possível deveria ser definível em termos de consistência interna das representações, de tal modo que se estabelecesse uma distinção entre as condições do pensamento e as condições da ação. Essa solução, porém, vai contra teses fundamentais da metafísica leibniziana.
Abstract
In this paper I show why one of Leibniz's solution to render freedom compatible with determinism, viz, the notion of "possible in itself", fails both in the case of divine and human freedom. Following this solution, the concept of being possible should be definable as internal consistency of representations, in such a way that we would be able to establish a distinction between the conditions of thought and the conditions of action. But we will see that this solution is contrary to fundamental theses of Leibniz's metaphysics.
