Resumen
Leibniz es uno de los pensadores modernos más importantes de las matemáticas y de la filosofía. Su caso es particularmente interesante, pues representa a la vez, a un pensador envuelto en el pensamiento medieval y uno que termina de inaugurar la era de la razón, junto a Descartes y Spinoza. Teniendo en mente esa consideración de transición, podremos ver que el problema del libre albedrío se muestra en una situación complicada, pues, en el intento del proyecto racional que representa Leibniz, se encontrarán grandes dificultades para conciliar los dogmas de la fe con las luces de la razón.
Leibniz busca defender la libertad humana, el papel del mal en el mundo y al mismo tiempo, la determinación mecánica del universo que hace posible que su proyecto matemático, y el de Newton, sean tan exitosos. En la última obra que publicó, la Monadología, parece ser que sistemáticamente se defiende todo a la vez, pero su consideración del ser humano como una especie de autómata mecánico y a la vez natural, parece comprometer mucho la idea de libertad. El caso de Leibniz es especialmente particular debido a que busca defender y armonizar ambas posturas.
Leibniz is one of the most important thinkers among modernity in mathematics and philosophy. His case represents a particular interest, since he embodies at the same time, a mind wrapped in medieval ways but also one that inaugurates the era of reason, alongside Descartes and Spinoza. Having this consideration of transition in mind, we will be able to see that the controversy of human free-will will find itself in a complicated situation, since, in the rational project that Leibniz represents, there will be great difficulties to concile the dogmas of faith with the lights of reason. Leibniz tried to defend human freedom, the role of evil in the world and at the same time, the mechanic determination of the universe that made possible that his mathematical project, alongside Newton´s, was so successful. In his last published work, the Monadology, seems to defend all this ideas systematically, but his consideration of humanity as a sort of natural and mechanic automaton seems to compromise a lot of ideas about freedom. The case of Leibniz is special for he seems to defend and harmonize both accounts.
