Trends and Future Prospects in the Study of Leibniz's Philosophy of Mind
Leibniz's philosophy of mind is embedded in his Monadology philosophical system,but it has not received due attention.Based on the latest findings from the Tenth and Eleventh International Leibniz Congresses and the current state of international Leibniz research over the past decade,it is evi-dent that Leibniz's philosophy of mind has produced a series of new theoretical advancements in core issues such as perception,apperception and the mind-body relationship.Simultaneously,the research exhibits a trend towards more specialized inquiries,diverse perspectives and continuous interdisci-plinary integration with other branches of philosophy.However,research on Leibniz's philosophy of mind still suffers from insufficient literature explora-tion,weak comprehensive interpretation,and inadequate mapping of developmental connections.In the future,scholars in China can further expand the possibilities of research by tracing the developmental context of Leibniz's theories,emphasizing the influence on German classical philosophy and Marxist philosophy and analyzing the interplay with Chinese philosophy.This approach will help highlight the unique characteristics of Leibniz's philosophy of mind research in China from multiple dimensions.
