Abstract
In this paper, I claim that in Leibniz’s metaphysics, we can use the notion of world in a twofold sense. On the one hand, to refer to highly complex divine thoughts, i.e. the ideal realm, and on the other hand, to refer to a network of living substances with their perceptions and appetitions, i.e. the substantial realm. Firstly, I will clarify the ideal realm in Leibniz’s metaphysics, which consists of three combinatorial levels about the fundamental entities, namely the simple ideas in God’s mind: complex ideas, complete individual notions and possible worlds. The second part is about the individual substances, i.e. the monads. In the third section, finally, I will discuss different ways to think about the connection between the ideal and the monad world.
