Universalidade e Simbolização em Leibniz

Based on the conception of an integral rationalism, in which the ideal of a full demonstrability takes place according to the identitary paradigm of the truth, the question of universality is configured in Leibniz, which a would then be more pertinently enunciated as the subject of universal determinism. The following are two aspects of a single question: in the first place, universality in its architectural sense, corresponding to the totality; in the second place, the absolute determination of the singular individual. In one case as well as the orther, complete determination cannot be reached by the human mind. But symbolic determination operations allow, somehow, for the avoidance of the impossiblity of a simultaneous and articulate vision of all of the elements of a compound and, thus, we are lead in the direction of determinable universality. The fundaments, procedures and risks involved therein constitute the subject of this text.
