Chapter II examines the principle of continuity, including  continuity as a general feature of every level of Leibniz's  metaphysics. The position adopted is that the problem of the  composition of the continuum played a central role on the development  of Leibniz's non-spatial and non-temporal monadic metaphysics. The  machinery developed is then used to offer a new interpretation of  Leibniz' metaphysics of space and time. The notion of indirect  representation is used to construct appropriate models that clarify  the nature of the correspondence between the real and the phenomenal  levels in the case of the relations `spatially between' and  `temporally between', as well as in the cases of spatial and temporal  density. Finally, Leibniz's solution to the problem of the continuum  is discussed, arguing that it is not entirely satisfactory. A  non-anachronistic alternative is proposed, compatible with Leibniz's  metaphysics of substance.\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePublication Date: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e31 December 1998\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePublisher: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSpringer Netherlands\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eImprint: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSpringer\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eISBN-13: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e9780792354765\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFormat: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eHardback\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePage Count: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e195\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e","brand":"Springer Netherlands","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50803479019660,"sku":"9780792354765","price":98.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9780792354765.jpg?v=1781753596","url":"https:\/\/fh90cf-fv.myshopify.com\/products\/9780792354765","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
