Abstract:
The paper focuses on Bayle's and Leibniz's intervention into the debate on Cudworth "plastick nature" or Leclerc's "natures plastique", and on the relationship of this concept with the Leibnizian concept - recently much discussed - of the «machines de la nature". Also Leibniz's confrontation with Cudworth's daughter, lady Masham, is taken into account, to get a comprehensive view of this multi-faceted dialogue, which reflects a complex rethinking of the concept of nature, at the crossroad of finalism, mechanism and vitalism.
