Leibniz’s Monadology

A Logical Analysis

Abstract

This paper deals with Leibniz’s monadology as a weapon against skepticism. Accordingly it counts monadology as a sufficient ground for the ascertainment of truth of necessary propositions as well as of contingent propositions. In the process of explaining monadology an explanation of the principle of identity of indiscernibles has been made to clarify the point that numerical diversity involves qualitative diversity. This very point has been observed to be very fundamental for necessary truths, i.e., truths which are true in every possible world. Furthermore, the explanation of the principle of perfection supports the value of truths of facts.
