FAZIO, Rodolfo Emilio. Leibniz’s Account of Body in His Mature Writings. Diánoia [online]. 2018, vol.63, n.80, pp.29-52. ISSN 0185-2450.  https://doi.org/10.22201/iifs.18704913e.2018.80.1525.

In this paper I examine the concept of body in Leibniz’s mature writings. In the context of the contemporary debate on the status of the corporeal substance, I analyze the relation between the three notions from which he builds his metaphysics of bodies, namely, the primary matter, the organic body, and the extension. For each case I evaluate their ontological status and the role they play in his metaphysics.

Keywords : Metaphysics; primary matter; secondary matter; organic body; extension.
