Abstract

This paper deals with Leibniz and his definition and problematic of theodicy as a "kind of quasi science" due to the presence of its defensive aspect, in the sense that it does not contain demonstrations of necessity. Lack of demonstration is the counterpart of freedom granted to God and the contingency of the universe, according to Leibniz. The proposition "God always chooses the best" and the proposition "our world is the best possible world" are proven by reason, founded a priori, but not demonstrable, because of they are contingent. Thus they are the object of an "infallible" but not absolute certainty.
Keywords: Leibniz; theodicy; the best possible world
