라이프니츠와 공가능성의 퍼즐 = Leibniz on the Puzzle of Compossibility

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

The notion of compossibility has been one of the most hotly contested issues among Leibniz scholars. In this paper, I will examine four influential interpretations and demonstrate their shortcomings. Moreover, I will show that one crucial issue has been largely overlooked: According to Leibniz, the compossibility relation is intransitive. Intransitivity will be a new challenge for the above interpretations; despite their differences, they seem to agree that compossibility relation is transitive. By showing this, I raise a new objection to all the existing interpretations of compossibility.

국문 초록 (Abstract)

공가능성(compossibility) 개념은 라이프니츠 연구자들 사이에서 가장 활발하게 연구되고 있는 분야 중 하나이다. 이 논문에서 나는 우선 공가능성에 대한 영향력 있는 네 가지 해석들을 살펴보고 각 해석의 장단점을 지적한다. 더불어 나는 그동안 연구자들 사이에서 간과되었던 한 가지 문제를 지적한다. 공가능성에 대한 영향력 있는 해석들은 모두 명시적 혹은 암묵적으로 공가능성을 이행적(transitive)인 관계로 파악하고 있다. 그러나 나는 이 논문에서 라이프니츠가 공가능성을 비이행적인 관계로 이해하고 있음을 보임으로써, 공가능성에 대한 기존의 해석들에 대한 새로운 문제를 제기한다.
