Gottfried Wilhelm Leibniz (1646-1716) is famous for his theory of possible worlds and for a metaphysical view of the universe as composed of immaterial, imperishable simple substances with various levels of sentience and consciousness, each one spontaneously harmonizing with all others. This chapter delineates the relation of metaphysical immortality and ordinary death in such a philosophical setting, and lays out the ingredients of Leibniz’s anti-death programme.

Abstract
Gottfried Wilhelm Leibniz (1646-1716) is famous for his theory of possible worlds and for a metaphysical view of the universe as composed of immaterial, imperishable simple substances with various levels of sentience and consciousness, each one spontaneously harmonizing with all others. This chapter delineates the relation of metaphysical immortality and ordinary death in such a philosophical setting, and lays out the ingredients of Leibniz’s anti-death programme.
