Sujet(s) : Ressources en ligne : Abrégé : According to Leibniz, the unity and continuity of knowledge as well as its reticular structure render the divisions of philosophy arbitrary and artificial. By contrast with the traditional division of philosophy into physics, logic and ethics, Leibniz suggests different arrangements of the same truths depending on whether theoretical grounding, practical applicability or rational and easy ordering is at stake. Hence the encyclopedia, by means of which philosophy is to be expounded, forms an open and perfectible system, aimed at supporting invention, constant updating and improvement, while never losing sight of human perfection and felicity.
