Larry M. Jorgensen provides a systematic reappraisal of Leibniz's philosophy of mind. He argues that Leibniz's theological commitments yielded a thoroughgoing naturalizing methodology, according to which the properties of an object are explicable in terms of the object's nature, and that this led him to a fully natural theory of mind.
Larry M. Jorgensen provides a systematic reappraisal of Leibniz''s philosophy of mind, revealing the full metaphysical background that allowed Leibniz to see farther than most of his contemporaries. In recent philosophy much effort has been put into discovering a naturalized theory of mind. Leibniz''s efforts to reach a similar goal three hundred years earlier offer a critical stance from which we can assess our own theories. But while the goals might be similar, the content of Leibniz''s theory significantly diverges from that of today''s thought. Perhaps surprisingly, Leibniz''s theological commitments yielded a thoroughgoing naturalizing methodology: the properties of an object are explicable in terms of the object''s nature. Larry M. Jorgensen shows how this methodology led Leibniz to a fully natural theory of mind.
