Leibniz's Two Realms Revisited
Leibniz speaks, in a variety of contexts, of there being two realms – a “kingdom of power or efficient causes” and “a kingdom of wisdom or final causes.” This essay explores an often overlooked application of Leibniz’s famous “two realms doctrine” to the natural world.
