Perfection, Complexity, Growth

As has been previously discussed, Leibniz' correlation of his concept of Perfection with that of what can be called a Complex, i. e. a unified multiplicity, has problematic implications for his concept of Deity.  Conversely, his restriction of the concept of Complexity to a Theological context prevents him from considering its Vitalist potential. For example, an Organism is a Whole-Part Complex, and the concept of Growth can be defined as an increase in Complexity, i. e. as a transition from a unified lesser Multiplicity, to a unified greater Multiplicity.  Furthermore, free of the constraint of the inherently maximum Perfection of a Deity, it is Growth that is potentially indefinite.  So, these passages in the Monadology evince a fundamental tension between a visionary Vitalism and a traditional Theology that remains unresolved.
