Analisi e percezione. Contributi leibniziani alla riflessione contemporanea sulla mente

In a theoretical and storical perspective, this essays tries to point out two contributions of Leibniz to the contemporary debate on mind and its scientifical and philosophical explanations. The first one is the idea of analisys and its applications to the different fields of mathematics and logic. By virtue of it Leibniz has been one of the forerunners of the modern computability theory. The second one is the leibnesian analitical treatment of perception in his monadological system with particular regard to the themes of representation and human knowledge. The aim is to show a possible link between the two issues both in Leibniz work and in contemporary reflection on mind.
