UMA QUESTÃO DE “REINOS”

Abstract

This paper analyzes Leibniz’s account of the relationship between the “realms” of metaphysics, on the one hand, and the physical and mathematical sciences, on the other. Leibniz proposes a hierarchical structure in which metaphysics holds a foundational position but does not directly intervene in the internal operations of the sciences. After showing that these domains, despite their relative autonomy, are harmonized, we examine specific examples, such as the status of scientific “principles” and the use of “fictions”. Finally, we analyze the internal articulation of the realm of the grounded, focusing on the relationship between mathematics and physics.
