Starting from a partial and fragmentary understanding of Leibniz work, like frequently is done, it is dificult to establish an appropriate interpretation of his metaphysics. Such a difficulty can be solved, if his large work is sfudied using a genetic approach, that is, connecting his monadological pluralism, the greatest expression of his metaphysics, with the aporia experimented in his writings related to particular problems, about physics, logic, linguistics, among others. Such approach allows to state that, in a sense, Leibniz metaphysics represents an answer to such problems, but also, to declare that this answer converge to a Christian conception of being.References
