书籍简介

发表于1686年的《形而上学论述》，是莱布尼茨对他的神学家朋友安托万·阿纳尔德的一封信的扩充，他在信中解释道：通过感知，我们从自己独特的视角表达了宇宙的其余部分。因此，整个世界包含在每一种个体的物质中，因为每一种物质都代表着同一个宇宙，“宇宙在某种程度上随着物质的存在而成倍增长，同样地，上帝的荣耀也因他作品中不同的表现形式而成倍增长。”就是在这里，莱布尼茨做出了他著名的断言:上帝，拥有完美的知识和善良，自由地选择创造了这个所有可能的世界中最好的世界。

Published in 1686, the Discourse on Metaphysics consists of Leibniz's expansion of a letter to his theologian friend Antoine Arnauld, in which he explains that through our perceptions we express the rest of the universe from our own unique perspectives. The whole world is thus contained in each individual substance as each represents the same universe and "the universe is in a way multiplied as many times as there are substances, and similarly the glory of God is redoubled by as many completely different representations of His work." It is here that Leibniz makes his famous assertion that God, with perfect knowledge and goodness, freely chose to create this, the best of all possible worlds.
