Leibniz’s Conception of Space: Towards a Protoholographic Approach

Abstract

The paper provides an interpretation of Leibniz’s account of space that extends beyond the predominant interpretations in terms of the relativity of space, where the latter is mainly understood through the differential perspective of each monad’s extrinsic denominators. This is attained by a thorough explication of the principle of indiscernibles, the abolition of the principle of locality, the advanced conception of entelecheia in late Leibniz, and the character of the perception of each monad, which allow to discover in Leibniz’s idea of space the notion of the hologram, and the holographic interconnectedness of things in the Universe.
