La monadologia husserliana

Abstract

This paper investigates the encounter, dialogue, and contamination of Leibnizian monadology in phenomenology. It analyzes both the theoretical-phenomenological motivations that led the German phenomenologist to reintroduce the notion of the monad and the consequent intersubjective path that enabled a more solid degree of objectivity, through the “res publica” of monads or their harmonic agreement. Additionally, it examines the critical issues in Husserl's interpretation. The aim is to highlight that the Monadenlehre develops on a plane of theoretical and historical immanence which takes over and modifies the results of Leibniz’s philosophy. All this serves to emphasize that the thoughts of the philosopher from Leipzig, embedded in phenomenological reflection, come back to life, initiating a new spiritual generativity, even though the historical reconstruction conducted by the phenomenologist is sometimes confused and naive.
