Summary/Abstract: In this paper, I deal with the issue realityfiction from the following perspective: substantial forms appear in some of Leibniz's writings as a part of a substantial whole, and in others as the whole as such; more precisely, the souls is both the form and the substance. In the first part of the paper, I give an historical presentation, in the second and third parts, I focus on the influence that Aristotle and Thomas Aquinas had on Leibniz, and in the last part, I will present, briefly, a solution for the problem I raised in the beginning of the study.
