La contribution se propose de poser la question de l'existence d'un ou de plusieurs leibnizianismes « orthodoxes » dans le siècle qui suit la mort du philosophe allemand. Une distinction est proposée entre orthodoxie comme doctrine strictement correcte, qui se propose d'être fidèle, et une orthodoxie plus faible et légère, blandior orthodoxia, qui, pour ainsi dire, se propose d'être « respectueuse ». La signification du terme « leibnizianisme » au XVIIIe siècle et différentes catégories de possibles « disciples » sont analysées. La question peut se décliner en différents axes, comme la répartition géographique, les générations (par exemple, ceux qui avaient connu personnellement Leibniz), les thèmes qui pourraient caractériser une position « leibnizienne » etc. Quelques exemples isolés de diverses formes de faible orthodoxie sont finalement discutés
This paper aims at posing the question whether one or more "orthodox" Leibnizianisms can be instantiated in the century that followed the German philosopher's death. A distinction is proposed between orthodoxy as the strictly correct doctrine, which intends to be "faithful," and a weaker and blander orthodoxy, blandior orthodoxia, which, so to speak, intends to be "respectful." The meaning of the term "Leibnizianism" in the 18th century, as well as different categories of possible "disciples," are analyzed. The question can be distributed onto different axes, such as geographic distribution, generations (e.g., those who had personally known Leibniz), which themes may characterize a "Leibnizian" position, and so on. Some isolated examples of various forms of such blander orthodoxy are finally discussed.

Abstract
This paper aims at posing the question whether one or more "orthodox" Leibnizianisms can be instantiated in the century that followed the German philosopher's death. A distinction is proposed between orthodoxy as the strictly correct doctrine, which intends to be "faithful," and a weaker and blander orthodoxy, blandior orthodoxia, which, so to speak, intends to be "respectful." The meaning of the term "Leibnizianism" in the 18th century, as well as different categories of possible "disciples," are analyzed. The question can be distributed onto different axes, such as geographic distribution, generations (e.g., those who had personally known Leibniz), which themes may characterize a "Leibnizian" position, and so on. Some isolated examples of various forms of such blander orthodoxy are finally discussed.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
