In his correspondence with Arnauld, Leibniz shows us how the appeal to the divine will is fundamental to guarantee a space to contingency in a metaphysics that does not allow indetermination. Nevertheless, we must stil aks if divine goodness, one of the perfections included in the notion of God, does not render necessary what Leibniz had called contingent. This is why we will examine Leibniz´s notion of divine will, especially the distinction between antecedent and consequent will, intending to determine in which measure divine goodness (understood as the most perfect will) implies or not a universal ncessitarism.
