Posibilitate și continuitate la Leibniz
Possibility and Continuity in Leibniz

Summary/Abstract: The labyrinth of the composition of the continuum constitutes a genuine thread of Ariadne through the labyrinth of Leibnizian thought: just like the thread of Ariadne, the solution to the labyrinth has two ends: one lies in the principle of continuity, the other in the theory of possibility; departing from the problematic theory of continuity, one can reach the bright zone of possibility. The two main ideas resulting from solving the paradox of composition are based on the part-whole relationship, respectively the confusion of what is actual with what is possible. The first idea will lead to the affirmation of plenitude and to a new type of relationship between part and whole, and the second to a new conception of possibility, radically different from alternative theories and, above all, to a surprising modernity.
