The author's point is that Leibniz's Theodicy can and should be read otherwise than a naive statement of metaphysical optimism. To make this point suggestions by Deleuze are revived and contrasted with Heidegger's critical reading of Leibniz's rationalism. Bach's art of fugue turns out to provide a useful source of comparison to hold that Leibniz's view is a powerful antidote to any childish humanistic anthropomorphism and to any progressive view of theology.

Abstract
The author's point is that Leibniz's Theodicy can and should be read otherwise than a naive statement of metaphysical optimism. To make this point suggestions by Deleuze are revived and contrasted with Heidegger's critical reading of Leibniz's rationalism. Bach's art of fugue turns out to provide a useful source of comparison to hold that Leibniz's view is a powerful antidote to any childish humanistic anthropomorphism and to any progressive view of theology.
