摘　　要：莱布尼茨试图运用“自然律”搭建起沟通数学、哲学和科学的桥梁,“连续律”便是其中的典型代表。莱布尼茨的连续律超越于传统的拉丁词源释义,它并不纯粹是处理对象固有的非中断与过渡特质的指导原则,而是作为检验平滑与否的规律发挥作用。连续律区别于连续性、离散性与连续统等相关概念,被赋予了更丰富的关系性内涵,“定律”与“原则”的应用语境有所差异。连续律是统一莱布尼茨思想的基本思维原则,旨在创建一个解释自然界运行机制的理想框架。Leibniz attempts to use the“law of nature”to build a bridge between mathematics,philosophy,and science,with the“law of continuity”being a typical representative.Leibniz's law of continuity transcends the traditional Latin etymological interpretation;it is not merely a guiding principle for dealing with the inherent non-interruption and transitional characteristics of objects,but serves as a criterion for testing smoothness.It is distinguished from related concepts such as continuity,discreteness,and continuum,and is endowed with a richer relational connotation.The application contexts of“law”and“principle”is different.The law of continuity is a fundamental thinking principle that unifies Leibniz's thoughts,aiming to create an ideal framework for explaining the mechanisms of nature's operation.
