Leibniz’s discourse is characterized for its extreme dynamism: the political forms tend towards bonum, and “since a progression of good towards infinity (progressus in infinitum) is given, it follows that the best state consists of an unimpeded progression towards ever greater goods”. In this sense stability is never reached through the exclusion of the forces operating within the different social and political contexts: the aim consists in giving life to composite communities open to change, in which the variety of their internal rapport makes their dissolution difficult when faced with possible conflicts.

Abstract
Leibniz’s discourse is characterized for its extreme dynamism: the political forms tend towards bonum, and “since a progression of good towards infinity (progressus in infinitum) is given, it follows that the best state consists of an unimpeded progression towards ever greater goods”. In this sense stability is never reached through the exclusion of the forces operating within the different social and political contexts: the aim consists in giving life to composite communities open to change, in which the variety of their internal rapport makes their dissolution difficult when faced with possible conflicts.File in questo prodotto:
