| description | Leibniz's conception of bodies seems to be a puzzling theory. Bodies are seen as aggregates of monads and as wellfounded phenomena. This has initiated controversy and unending discussions. The paper attempts to resolve the apparent inconsistencies by a new and formally spirited reconstruction of Leibniz's theory of monads and perception, on the one hand, and a (re-)formulation and precisation of his concept of preestablished harmony, on the other hand. Preestablished harmony is modelled basically as a covariation between the monadic and the ideal realm.<br>A concepção leibniziana dos corpos parece ser uma teoria enigmática. Corpos são vistos como agregados de mônadas e como fenômenos bem fundados. Isso deu origem a controvérsias e a discussões intermináveis. Este artigo tenta resolver as aparentes inconsistências por meio de uma reconstrução nova e formalmente inspirada da teoria da Leibniz das mônadas e da percepção, por um lado, e uma (re)formulação mais precisa de seu conceito de harmonia pré-estabelecida, por outro lado. A harmonia pré-estabelecida é modelada basicamente como uma covariação entre o reino monádico e ideal. |
