莱布尼茨与牛顿的争论不仅涉及微积分的发明权，更深入到对现实基础的根本性分歧。莱布尼茨的单子论试图调和神学与新兴的机械论宇宙观，他认为上帝创造了最好的世界，每个创造行为都有充分的理由。莱布尼茨的神正论试图解释邪恶的存在，他认为邪恶并非上帝的创造，而是通往更大善的必要条件，我们生活在最好的世界，只是我们人类以一种幼稚的方式认为上帝是“效率低下”的。莱布尼茨的预定和谐论认为上帝预先设定了宇宙的运行，这与自由意志的概念存在冲突，但他认为单子的封闭性使其能够做出不受外部影响的自由选择。莱布尼茨在自由意志与决定论的调和上遇到了难题，他的观点在现代听众看来并不具有说服力。

Shownotes Transcript

On this episode of the podcast, we continue our discussion of Gottfried Leibniz. First, we delve more into the feud between Leibniz and Isaac Newton, which we briefly mentioned last week. Next, we ask ourselves why God sometimes allows Steve Buschemi to murder innocent hitchhikers and why this question is so crucial to Leibniz. Finally, we return to the issue of free will vs. determinism and wonder whether we’re ever actually free to decide what kind of cheese to buy. All this and more on the latest episode of Philosophize This!
