What role do Leibniz and Clarke’s theories of space play in their view of the nature of God?
For this exercise you want to complete the following steps:
- List the relevant considerations and supporting passages from the reading, focusing on the fourth letter from both Leibniz and Clarke, including the Appendix sections cited in footnotes, but drawing, where necessary, from previous letters. For the sake of brevity (shortness), pick the most important THREE considerations from your complete list and include them here. How to choose? SEE NEXT:
- Step back and look at the two elements of the question: (a) a theory of space (meaning the view of space each figure has) and (b) the nature of God (ditto re God). See if you can start to see how the theories of space help each philosopher argue for his view of the nature of God.
