Leibniz sometimes distinguishes between the principle of contradiction and that of identity (A = A). But he recognizes that they are ultimately one. Cf. Nouveaitx Essais, bk. iv. ch. 2, § i (.E. 339 a; G. v. 343). 'The principle of contradiction is in general : a proposition is either true or false. This contains two true statements ; (i) that the true and the false are not compatible in the same proposition or t?iat a^j^gwiiion cannot be true and false at the same time ; (2) that the opposites... or negations of the true and the false are not compatible, or that there is no middle term between the true and the false, or rather that it is imposaible far a proposition to be neither true nor false.' See Aristotle, Metaph. F, 3, loos'" 19 and 7, loii'' 23. " In his earlier writings Leibniz calls the sufiicient reason the determining reason, meaning the reason which determines the exis- tence of this or that out of a number of possibilities, each of which involves no self-contradiction. As synonymous with the ' principle of sufScient reason,' he also sometimes uses the phrase, 'principle of fitness [convenance] or of harmony.' He thus suggests that the sufficient reason of a thing is always to be found in its relations to other things, its place in the general system.
