This volume brings together a number of original articles by leading Leibniz scholars to address the meaning and significance of Leibniz’s notions of compossibility and possible worlds. In order to avoid the conclusion that everything that exists is necessary, or that all possibles are actual, as Spinoza held, Leibniz argued that not all possible substances are compossible, that is, capable of coexisting. In Leibniz’s view, the compossibility relation divides all possible substances into disjoint sets, each of which constitutes a possible world, or a way that God might have created things. For Leibniz, then, it is the compossibility relation that individuates possible worlds; and possible worlds form the objects of God’s choice, from among which he chooses the best for creation. Thus the notions of compossibility and possible worlds are of major significance for Leibniz’s metaphysics, his theodicy, and, ultimately, for his ethics. Given the fact, however, that none ofthe approaches to understanding Leibniz’s notions of compossibility and possible words suggested to date have gained universal acceptance, the goal of this book is to gather a body of new papers that explore ways of either refining previous interpretations in light of the objections that have been raised against them, or ways of framing new interpretations that will contribute to a fresh understanding of these key notions in Leibniz’s thought.

Der Sklavenaufstand in Saint-Domingue 1791 wird als einzigartiges Ereignis in der Geschichte betrachtet, da er langfristigen Erfolg hatte. Die Arbeit untersucht den Einfluss der Französischen Revolution auf diesen Aufstand und hinterfragt die vereinfachte Ansicht, dass die Sklaven sich direkt von den Ereignissen in Frankreich inspirieren ließen. Stattdessen wird argumentiert, dass vor allem freie Schwarze und Mulatten von den revolutionären Idealen profitierten. Die Studie analysiert die Ziele der Sklaven, ihre Argumentation mit Menschenrechten und ob sie sich als französische Bürger sahen, gestützt auf aktuelle Forschung und Originalquellen.
