  1. Gustavo Sarmiento (2008). Acerca de las Doctrinas sobre las Fuerzas Atractivas de la Materia en el Siglo XVII. Proceedings of the Xxii World Congress of Philosophy 16:309-320.
    In this paper we will refer to the doctrine of attractive forces proposed by the Newtonian author John Keill, and the influence it had on Kant. The “Epistola ad Cl. virum Gulielmum Cockburn, Medicinæ Doctorem. In qua Leges Attractionis aliaque Physices Principia traduntur,” published by Keill in 1708, proposes a doctrine of the attractive forces of matter that exerted a considerable influence on the first Newtonian authors and was criticized by Leibniz and his followers, including Christian Wolff.

  3. Gustavo Sarmiento (2005). On Kant’s Definition of the Monad in the Monadologia Physica of 1756. Kant-Studien 96 (1):1-19.
    It is well known that the modern atomists assumed the ancient thesis that things are composed of simple entities. It is also known that Leibniz went beyond atomism, since he affirmed that the true substances on which things are founded, the so-called monads, cannot be divisible or extended, for they are souls. For Christian Wolff, the elements of bodies are not extended; these elements have no figure and no magnitude whatsoever, they fill no space and are indivisible. In the Monadologia (...)
