Abstract:
The correspondence with the Dutch physicist Burcher de Volder is one of the most important in Leibniz’s career. Behind their discussions on the main topics of the exchange – such as the relationship between physics and metaphysics, or the concepts of matter, force, substance – the reader can detect the presence of a third silent interlocutor, whose name is evoked at some crucial points, namely Spinoza. The aim of this paper is not to take a position in the old debate on de Volder’s alleged crypto-Spinozism, but to reconstruct where and how in the correspondence some themes or arguments appear which objectively can remind Spinoza’s stance, and how they are received by Leibniz
