| Research Abstract |
The purpose of this research is to clarify the significance of Leibniz's direct comments on the philosophy of Spinoza, in order to grasp the potentiality of spinozistic thought. This research examined commentaries on the texts of Spinoza by Leibniz, so that it clarified the very important moment of the philosophy Spinoza, which we named "immanence". More concretely, this research took three tasks upon itself.
1. Drawing up the inventory of commentaries by Leibniz and translation of its major parts-a commentary on Spinoza's Ethics and other texts-as the basic part of this research.
2. Comparative and systematic study on spinozistic thought and lebnizian one from the five points of view : a/ absolute positivity of concept of God (absolute infinite being and being really constructed by the definition); b/ problem of spiritual automaton ; c/ spontaneity of individuals (conatus of modal individuals and expressive monad); d/ reaction against the modern scholastics; e/ philosophy of "univosity" (Spinoza) vs. that of "analogy".
3. Focusing the specific characters of spinozistic thought:
a/Concept of power (potentia) of Spinoza is introduced in his philosophy in order to make possible our complete quantitative grasp of whole nature;
b/Spinozistic concept of cause (causa) is not only efficient but also formal one, so such dual causation is very important to Spinoza.
Unfortunately, our research is not jet so complete, partly because of an arrival of new textes of Leibniz, but we shall finish this research and present our translation and our thesis in a full form as soon as possible.
