Holz I 50
Def evidence/certainty/a priori/Leibniz: the certainty (the necessity of identical propositions A = B) is based neither on empiricism nor on deduction, but on an a priori insight.
>Identity principle/Leibniz, >Necessity/Leibniz.
Rationalism/HolzVsLeibniz: Problem for a philosophy that understands itself "scientifically": this "immediate insight" of so-called final justification leads to a different epistemological level. Danger of an irrationalistic change.
>Ultimate justification/Leibniz.
I 51
Thus the certainty of the axioms is no longer assured. Leibniz, however, insists on proving them from the "evidence of identity" (with themselves).
>Provability/Leibniz, >Proof/Leibniz, >Axiom/Leibniz.
