| Σύνοψη: | This article analyzes Leibniz’s "Dissertation on the Conformity of Faith and Reason," which is the preamble to his Theodicy . This dissertation can be considered Leibniz’s candid assertion and defense of the relation and conformity between faith and reason. Despite Leibniz’s very careful and nuanced arguments in favor of a conformity between faith and reason, I attempt to show that reason nonetheless emerges as the predominant principal. In the system of Leibniz faith is primarily a putting in perspective of evil and suffering as they are experienced and appear to the believer. By reason we know better, have superior insight, and are connected to the ultimate cause and essence of things. |
