Abstract
The paper offers a brief discussion of some aspects of the Leibnizian conception of God's evaluation of possible worlds. The first part considers the definition of perfection, as applied to possible worlds; the second part investigates the possibility of using some among Leibniz' text on logical calculus (mostly from the period 1677-1679) to improve our understanding of the nature and functioning of God's calculus.
