Entre el actualismo y la “teoría estándar de los mundos posibles” en Leibniz. Gaiada, Griselda This article examines the scope and consistency of the “standard theory of possible worlds” in Leibniz’s thought. Its thesis is that actualism underlies the Leibnizian corpus as a background of tension that prevents the closure of the Leibnizian metaphysics of possible worlds from a single interpretation of the origin of things. To this end, a three-stage periodization of Leibniz’s explanations about the origination of the world is offered: firstly, a pure actualist model; secondly, an emanantist model and a creationist model, both coexisting and being interpretable in possibilist terms as well as in actualist terms; finally, an actualist model of “resultant will”. Our goal is not to take sides with some model or another, but only to make visible that all of them coexist in Leibniz’s writings as elements which dislocate within a sole and relatively closed interpretation. Este artículo se interroga sobre el alcance y consistencia de la “teoría estándar de los mundos posibles” en el pensamiento de Leibniz. La tesis defendida es que el actualismo subyace en el corpus leibniziano como un fondo de tensión que impide clausurar la metafísica leibniziana de los MP a partir de una sola interpretación sobre el origen de las cosas. Para ello, se ofrece una periodización en tres etapas de las explicaciones de Leibniz al respecto: 1. un modelo actualista puro; 2. un modelo emanantista y otro creacionista, ambos coexistentes e interpretables tanto en términos posibilistas como actualistas; 3. un modelo actualista de “voluntad resultante”. Nuestro objetivo no es tomar partido por uno u otro modelo, sino mostrar que todos ellos conviven en la literatura leibniziana como elementos que dislocan dentro de una única y relativamente cerrada interpretación.
