Abstract

I focus on the method designed by the young Leibniz in order to analyze specific legal modalities, the so-called suspensive conditions. Such a method, to analyze the specific conditionals whose if-part is a suspensive condition, gives Leibniz access to the resources of logical analysis of conditionals. I show that the contribution of logic to the law goes hand in hand with an extended complication of the former thanks to which Leibniz achieves at capturing a number of dynamical features of suspensive conditions, but also of resolutory and temporal legal modalities
