Your name:Your section (circle):Mon. Tues. Wed. (am) Wed. (pm)Metaphysics Exercise 15Phil. 93, Winter 2006. Due Tues., Mar. 141. According to Leibniz, which of the following is correct?a. A monad contains no diversity, because it is a simple substance (hasno parts).b. All monads are made out of the same simple substance, but they aredifferent from each other because their perceptions are different.c. Monads are made out of a simple substance, whereas bodies are madeout of a more complex substance.d. Every monad is a simple substance, which differs from all the othersbecause its perceptions are different.e. (a) and (b).f. (a) and (d).2. In §7 of the Monadology, Leibniz says that a monad can’t be alteredor changed internally by an external cause. If that’s the case, how canmonads act on each other?a. A monad is not an external cause; monads are internal.b. Monads act on other monads by causing perceptions. But a perceptionis just a new accident (or mode), so having a new perception is not aninternal (essential) change.c. In all metaphysical strictness, they don’t act on each other at all.d. They don’t act on each other directly, but they can act on God. Soone monad can cause a change in God, who then causes a change in asecond monad.e. None of the above.f. (c) and (d).3.

About which of the following do Descartes and Leibniz agree witheach other, but disagree with Avicenna?a. Every body is divisible.b. Sensible qualities are ideal: they are not real qualities of the objectsof our perception.c. Some substances are extended and others are not.c. Perception is not, strictly speaking, an effect produced by the actionof a body on our soul. Bodies do not act on souls.d. There can be different substances which belong to the same lowestspecies (substances which are merely numerically distinct).e. None of the above.f. All of the
