Title: Martin Lin (Rutgers)
Leibniz on the Grounds of Possibility


The actual world, according to Leibniz, is just one of many possible worlds  
that God considers when deciding to create. He chooses this one because it  
is the best and a perfectly wise and benevolent agent necessarily chooses  
the best. But how can there be nonactual possible worlds if the actual  
world is such that it is necessarily created by a necessary being?  
Throughout his career Leibniz grappled with this question, resulting in a  
rich and fascinating theory of modality. In this paper, I consider the  
question of the grounds of possibility in Leibniz. In many texts, he says  
that possibility is grounded in ideas in the divine mind. I argue, however,  
that, for Leibniz, this is not the ultimate ground of possibility because  
the source of the content of God's ideas lies in the divine attributes.
