Abstract

Abstract I examine several alleged grounds of the principle of sufficient reason in Leibniz’s philosophy. These include the nature of a requisite and a sufficient condition, the nature of truth, and the nature of harmony. I argue that Leibniz does not ground the PSR in any of these ways. Instead, he is committed to a value-based grounds of the PSR: God creates the best possible world, and the fact that the PSR obtains in this world contributes to it being the best. I conclude by considering some objections to this way of grounding the PSR.

莱布尼茨基于充分理性原则

摘要我考察了莱布尼茨哲学中充分理性原则的几个指称依据。其中包括必要条件和充分条件的性质、真理的性质和和谐的性质。我认为莱布尼茨并没有以任何这些方式为PSR奠定基础。相反，他致力于PSR基于价值的基础：上帝创造了尽可能好的世界，而PSR在这个世界上获得的事实有助于它成为最好的世界。最后，我考虑了一些对PSR这种接地方式的反对意见。
