Deleuze, Leibniz, 'Best Possible'

Deleuze offers "richest compossible" as a synonym of Leibniz' formulation 'best possible'. But, while by 'compossible', both men mean 'non-contradictory', the qualification "richest" remains uncertain. Almost surely, it is less likely that Deleuze means by it 'wealthiest' rather than 'greatest number'. But the latter is still unsatisfactory, since it entails, for example, that a world consisting of four people indifferently co-existing is a better world than one consisting of three productively cooperating. Furthermore, both Deleuze and Leibniz occasionally seem to suggest that 'best'='most harmonious'. However, 'harmonious' is as undetermined as is 'richest'. So, in the absence of any further clarification, Leibniz' assertion that 'this is the best of all possible worlds' is more illuminating as a Theological than as a Cosmological thesis, i. e. it is more informative about Leibniz' concept of God's creative process than that of the objective character of the world that is the product of that process.
