My plan is to investigate the relation of identities, expressions and perceptions. With regard to this it seems to me the principle principle of sufficient reason expresses the ontological relation between an expression and something necessary, namely identities. Nevertheless, this relation is still very unclear to me (also because the term expression and perception are a little confused in my mind).
Brandom and Heidegger on this topic
Here, is a further point that I have to bring to clarity. While Brandom only focuses on the idea of inferences that achieve the many in one (probably in terms of his conceptual realism that assumes the world has the same structure like the subject, so that he basically only asks about semantics), Heidegger puts emphasize on the principe grande, the mighty principle that emphasizes the ontological difference. According to Heidegger there is something that resists its decomposition into identities.
Study Plan:
I will study parts of the selection of the Garber book of Leibniz: 5. Meditations on Knowledge, Truth, and Ideas, 6. Contingency, 7. Primary Truths, 8. Discourse on Metaphysics. All of these texts give good indications. I also have a small book of Nicholas Rescher. Moreover, I probably include the differentiation between absolute and hypothetical necessity from the Letters to Arnauld and Leibniz ideas of how miracles can be understood in terms of reason.
Suggestions?
