This article tackles the issue of determinism in Leibniz. In particular, it is a matter of investigating how the problem of the labyrinth of freedom and need is elaborated in “Discours de Métaphysique” and developed in “Monadologie”. We have tried to demonstrate that the solution outlined by Leibniz, i.e., the exit from this labyrinth, is what liberates the political and moral practice in the author’s work. This practice is related to the possibility for men to think of the issue of justice, i.e., the issue of the science of Law.
