Abstract

[This chapter continues with a three-part presentation of the central architectonic components of the dynamics. In this chapter, we examine the status of continuity in the theory of motion developed in Leibniz’s dynamics. The chapter traces some difficulties in the development of continuous motion in order to highlight the productive frictions between Leibniz’s attempts to provide a geometrical and dynamical account of motion. The status of continuity will highlight what is at stake in Leibniz’s focus on vis as the cause of physical phenomenon: the distinction as well as the connection between ideal (geometrical) continuities and dynamical action.]
