Perpetuum mobiles and eternity
In Yitzhak Melamed (ed.), Eternity: the History of a Concept. Oxford University Press. pp. 173-178 (2016)
Abstract
Leibniz is committed to a form of cosmic eternity, on account of his natural theology and foundations for dynamics. However, his views on perpetuum mobiles entail that a particularly attractive type of cosmic eternity is out of reach for Leibniz.Author's Profile
